PSG erased Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-0 lead late within the UEFA Tremendous Cup last on Wednesday, equalizing within the 94th minute after which coming from behind once more within the penalty shootout.

MORE —

Commercial

Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero scored Spurs’ purpose both facet of halftime — each from set items — and Thomas Frank’s debut was off to a roaring begin. Spurs did not have a lot of the ball (simply 26 % on the night time) however they had been a relentless risk on the counter for about an hour. In the meantime, PSG had simply 4 photographs within the first half, none of which had been on the right track. Pragmatic however sensible, and vital given the present harm state of affairs (once more, already).

A couple of of Spurs’ starters did not have the legs to go 90 minutes (Richarlison, Joao Palhinha, Mohammed Kudus), and their replacements (Dominic Solanke, Archie Grey and Mathys Tel) have not performed a lot between them this preseason. Alternatively, two of PSG’s subs (Kang-In Lee and Goncalo Ramos) scored the targets, within the eighty fifth and 94th.

Spurs had the lead early within the shootout as nicely after Vitinha despatched his effort vast of the purpose, however Van de Ven was denied by Lucas Chevalier and Tel hooked his vast in rounds 3 and 4.

Tottenham Hotspur, the latest Set Piece FC

Frank is at it once more, quietly assembling a squad full of huge lads that do not have an issue imposing themselves on opponents. And what do you do with such a bunch of gamers? Get ’em ahead, and get it within the mixer. Micky van de Ven, Kevin Danso, Joao Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur and Cristian Romero all stand 6-foot-1 or taller, and it grew to become very clear in a short time that Spurs supposed to make good use of them on set items. Danso will function the long-throw specialist and may function closely if Frank persists with the three-man backline, which fits the entire trio very nicely. Set items had been an indicator of Brentford when Frank was in cost there, and it’s clear after only one (semi-)aggressive sport at Spurs that ordinary service has resumed.

The opposite constructive (very carefully associated) is that Spurs are going to be extremely annoying to play towards this season. They will press rather a lot, they’ll go in for many exhausting challenges, and they’ll rating numerous targets from set items if you really feel they’ve created nothing in any other case. It was actually incredible that Ange Postecoglou did what he did and received Tottenham Hotspur its first trophy in almost twenty years, however seeing Spurs so defensively organized, resilient and just a little nasty proper out of the gate simply confirms that Daniel Levy was proper to make the change.
