Postecoglou names one Spurs player who has been ‘unlucky’ not to play more
Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, was questioned by the media yesterday about his team, in particular his choices in midfield.The Spurs manager claimed Giovani Lo Celso was unlucky not to have more playing time while responding to the query.
The midfield has been one of this resurgent Spurs team’s most outstanding positions.After a challenging first season at the club, Yves Bissouma has shone out as a player playing with genuine confidence, and youngster Pape Matar Sarr scored his first Tottenham goal in the victory over United.
James Maddison, who plays the more advanced role of the midfield trio, has been orchestrating events in the interim. Despite sitting on the bench for both games, Giovani Lo Celso has not been used.
Postecoglou has been impressed by Lo Celso
Nevertheless, it appears like Postecoglou intends to utilize Lo Celso soon, as the Australian claimed to the media (via Football.London) that the midfielder has been ‘unlucky’ not to have had more playing time.
Postecoglou added of the depth of his midfield, “Gio has been unfortunate not to have seen any game action, but again I’ve been incredibly impressed. We will require [depth]. A lengthy season has two games left.
“We’ve observed other clubs dealing with injuries, and I’m confident that we’ll experience that at some point.” We have three games the next week, therefore we need a strong team.
“Three away games, so we’ll use pretty much the entire squad during that week,” the coach said. It’s crucial to understand that they are prepared.
James Maddison may be able to play against Bournemouth after all, but you have to assume that Lo Celso will start the cup game the following week to give Maddison a break. Unless anything unexpected happens in the upcoming week, Lo Celso doesn’t appear to be departing the team.
