“I didn’t expect it” – BBC pundit, Ian Wright says “underrated” Tottenham figure has just blown him away
Ian Wright says “underrated” Spurs name has surprised him
The former Arsenal player is astonished by his recent performance. Ian Wright, a former Arsenal player and BBC pundit, has detailed how a “underrated” figure at Tottenham has utterly taken him by surprise.
After moving from Celtic in the summer, Ange Postecoglou has so far dominated the Premier League. After Antonio Conte’s disastrous final season in charge of the club, the Australian’s attack-minded, dynamic style of play is energizing the fans and giving them some hope that things are improving. Spurs are presently ranked second in the rankings after winning five of their first seven league games, and they have scored as many goals as last season’s triple-champions Man City.
With wins over Bournemouth, Man United, Burnley, Sheffield United, and Liverpool in addition to 2-2 draws with Brentford and Arsenal, Tottenham is in a strong position going into their upcoming matchup against Luton Town. With two Reds players receiving red cards and a Luis Diaz goal being disallowed, Postecoglou’s most recent victory over Liverpool occurred in extremely dramatic circumstances. Son Heung-min and Joel Matip both scored goals to offset Cody Gakpo’s goal and provide a decisive victory for Tottenham, whom Postecoglou praised for its unwavering spirit.
We anticipated it wouldn’t be an easy game for us, and even under the given conditions, we faced some unusual difficulties, the Australian remarked.
“For a few of these guys, this is going to be their first experience with that kind of situation, and for the most part, we handled it okay. A late winner, once more, contributes to the group’s belief and passion. The problem about Liverpool is that they are still just as dangerous with 10 men, even though their game strategy is the same, they capitalize on errors, and their front line features world-class players who can inflict harm. Because we maintained our pressure in the wide areas and had a little more composure, I thought the second half was better.
How good is Ange Postecoglou?
Postecoglou’s version of “Ange-ball” is currently generating a lot of buzz in England after he won a number of significant titles in Scotland and Asia. Even if Spurs were rumored to be interested in Julian Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique as Conte’s replacements, you could be excused for initially believing this was a dangerous choice. However, Spurs’ alternate choice is so far disproving the critics.
The popular new manager of Tottenham completely caught him off guard, according to BBC analyst Wright, who was speaking to Premier League producers this week [02/10/23 at 2:20 pm].
Wright stated, “It’s undervalued.
“At the moment, he is making an underappreciated effort. big admirers of Ange Postecoglou. I recall hearing early on that “he needs to start well.” You want the players he has to succeed and win some games and other things with them. But I wasn’t prepared for it to get to the grove it is in so rapidly.
“Not just psychologically, but physically as well. We are looking at a team that we know will get better just because Bentancur is coming back because they know what they are doing.
The 58-year-old is gradually winning over both fans and onlookers thanks to Spurs’ strong start to the season and debatable charisma.
