Ange Postecoglou’s exciting brand of football has helped to reinvigorate Tottenham Hotspur and it appears that it is not just the supporters who have been left impressed.
The tactical lineups of past Tottenham Hotspur head coaches Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, which mostly depended on a counterattacking approach, had left supporters unsatisfied.However, Postecoglou has Tottenham back on the attack with a high press and the astute addition of inverted full-backs.
The Australians’ tactical needs have relied heavily on Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie, particularly when it comes to trying to break the lines separating the opponents.
Postecoglou’s inverted full-backs have been a revelation
Conor Coady, a defender for Leicester City, saw Tottenham’s 4-0 victory over Aston Villa yesterday at Villa Park and was captivated by the full-backs’ impact on Unai Emery’s team.
During his appearance as a pundit on BBC Radio Five Live on October 3, 24 at 13:10, the England international made the following live statement: “I tell you what, in this period of the game, it’s fascinating to see how Tottenham play and the way the two full-backs come inside.”
“If you see Pedro Porro’s current position, attempting to run in behind, it’s an uncommon sight for a full-back. It’s fascinating to watch live and utterly captivating.
Pedro Porro’s absence from the two games before the victory over Villa was evident, and even though Emerson Royal has come a long way since his early Spurs days, he still lacks the former Sporting player’s ability to influence the game in attacking areas.
Tottenham must now maintain their current momentum in order to qualify for the Champions League. They will begin this quest on Saturday night when they travel to Fulham.
