Daily Telegraph: Conceded only 1 goal in 5 official games, Tottenham Hotspur showed a new look
Tottenham defeated Villarreal 1-0 in the first round of the Champions League with the opponent's own goalkeeper's own goal, achieving a good start. The Daily Telegraph also commented on Tottenham's performance after the game. The article wrote that Tottenham returned to the Champions League after two years. Despite facing Villarreal's tenacious resistance last night, Tottenham was lucky to lead 1-0 and remained calm in the final stage of the game without conceding the ball.
There are two critical moments in this game, one of which is particularly exciting. A long pass from Villarreal tore through Tottenham's defense, allowing Villarreal forward Micautaze to attend the meeting alone. Van Devin decisively brought him down near the penalty area, and the referee finally awarded a free kick instead of a penalty kick. Former Arsenal player Nikola Pepe took the free kick but failed to score.
Spurs have conceded only one goal in five official games coached by Frank since the start of the Premier League this season. They performed well against West Ham United last weekend but were weak in the offense in this game.
Frank said after the game: "This team and the players will score goals, and I have no doubt about it. I am satisfied with the clean sheets of the opponent, and we did a good job on the defensive end. Although we struggled a little on the offensive end, I think our foundation is solid."
In addition, Frank also pointed out that the team has problems with ball possession. Fortunately, Villarreal goalkeeper Luis Junior made a big gift to Tottenham with a mistake.
Tottenham showed a new look in this game, focusing more on defense, and also had some exciting highlights. In particular, Simmons, Kudus and Berrival's performances are commendable. If Tottenham can maintain this stability, the future will be full of hope.
