Tottenham is an English team. This is a fact that no one can deny. But in its DNA, there is a bit of Italy with Antonio Conte. Tonight’s victory against Olympique de Marseille at the Orange Vélodrome is a reflection of this. The Spurs did not worry OM very much, nor did they concede much. But they accelerated once and then decided to strike again on the counter.
” The first half was difficult. We didn’t lose our minds, we stayed in the game. The goal we conceded is terrible because we weren’t ready, it’s something that will be used. We had a good chat in the locker room. In the first half, they controlled well. In the second, this aspect has changed “Began by explaining the deputy of Conte, who was suspended for this confrontation.
But, Tottenham’s campaign could even be summed up in this match. Admittedly, they were not hat one, since it was Frankfurt, the last winner of the Champions League, but they acted, at least in name, as the ogre of this group. And throughout those six matches, Harry Kane and his teammates were relatively disappointing.
Forceps victories and disappointments
So, yes, we can say that they finish first in this group D. Once again, it’s a fact. They will therefore have a certain advantage in the draw. But what is the content? The first period at Hotspur Stadium against OM was complicated and they probably only owe their victory to Chancel Mbemba’s red card after returning from the locker room.
Against Sporting CP, they were hit twice at the end of the game and lost there two goals to nil. The double confrontation against Frankfurt, which finished second, was not easy. They brought back a poor draw from Germany (0-0) before winning with forceps in England (3-2). Finally, we thought for a long time that Sporting CP was going to beat Spurs again, but an equalizer was going to come at the end of the match (80th). This Tuesday, they were looking for their points without being brilliant and again late in the game. We will have to show something else in the eighths, if they want to see the quarters.
