The football perfection of Mourinho, Tottenham’s strongest rivals, 3 consecutive games, successful defense

[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] Tottenham Hotspur successfully overcame all three matches in a row against the strong team.

Tottenham Hotspur won 2-0 in the North London Derby against Arsenal in the eleventh round of the Premier League in the 2020/21 season held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the 7th (Korean time).

Tottenham returned to the top of the Premier League with a win on this day. Liverpool also won the match against Wolverhampton Wanderers that day, but Tottenham took the lead on the goal and took first place.

Tottenham showed tremendous defensive concentration as they finished three straight games against the strong team that continued after the A-match period in November without a goal.

They didn’t allow a single run and scored four points, Manchester City in round 9, Chelsea in round 10 and Arsenal in round 11. Mind you, I have to keep in mind that Arsenal are 14th, but I didn’t know what was going to happen. in the rival Derby.

Tottenham started to have fun with the strong double-line defense and quick counter-attack change that they showed against Man City. Even if they completely ceded possession to the opponent, Tottenham reliably blocked all of the opponent’s attacks and delivered the ball to an attacker with tremendous destructive power, Son Heung-min and Kane, and scored.

Furthermore, Tottenham’s defensive core Toby Alderweireld was injured against Manchester City, and Joe Rodon, who was signed at the last minute of the transfer market this summer, made his start against Chelsea.

At the start of the match, Rodon made a mistake due to some tension, but Dyer and all the Tottenham players joined the defense, stopping all of Chelsea’s powerful attacks.

Coach José Mourinho continues a 10-game unbeaten streak, making Tottenham the least conceded team in the current league. Mourinho’s Tottenham have only allowed 9 runs in 11 games, dropping 1 goal per game.

The pattern of scoring goals with a quick counterattack after former coach Mourinho’s strong defense at Chelsea in 2004/05 is being repeated at Tottenham this season. Like Chelsea at the time, which boasted a phenomenal defensive ability of 15 runs in 38 games at the time, Tottenham also displayed their defensive power comparable to these three straight games.
