‘I’m very angry’…Tottenham player says he’s absolutely furious with his finishing vs Wolves
Dejan Kulusevski has admitted he was ‘very angry’ with his finishing for Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
Spurs suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Wolves at home and were arguably fortunate to lose by just one goal.
For long stretches of the match, Ange Postecoglou’s team controlled the ball, but they were unable to penetrate a strong Wolves defense.Actually, Gary O’Neil’s strategy was spot on as Wolves consistently split Tottenham open on the counterattack.
After Spurs had threatened to reenter the game in the second half, Joao Gomes’ double gave O’Neil’s team the victory.
Just after the break, Dejan Kulusevski leveled the score with a spectacular finish from a challenging angle. However, the Swede feels that after yesterday’s loss, he ought to have had a few more to his name.
Kulusevski ‘very angry’ with his finishing against Wolves
Speaking to Spurs Play, Kulusevski claimed that he should have done better with a couple of chances that fell his way against Wolves.
“Absolutely, it’s hard [to break teams down],” he said. “The first half, we were trying but we couldn’t find a solution.
“That’s usually where the talent comes in, I always believe you have to do something special and special teams come from confidence. So, you have to keep trying and when you do something good, it’s going to come more naturally.
“It was one good moment [for the goal] but I’m very sad, actually I’m very angry because I had two more chances that were very close that I could score but that’s life.”
Despite having good wins before to the loss to Wolves, Spurs haven’t exactly been at their best in recent weeks.
Some might contend that Postecoglou’s men were just absent from the races yesterday and that a defeat was inevitable.
The following two weeks will be busy for the Australian before Tottenham hosts Crystal Palace. Kulusevski produced a stunning finish on Saturday, despite his frustration with his finishing.
Wolves had the better chances in the last portion of the game, with Spurs failing to generate nearly as many clear-cut openings.
