Captain Tottenham Hotspur Son Heung-Mi on Thursday night held a terrible overview of his side in a 1-0 defeat from AZ Alkmaar.
The goal of Lucas Bergvall’s first half was a difference in a painfully one -sided Europa League Last-14 tie. The Spurs barely approached the finding of the AZ’s back, registering only one shot on the target for 90 minutes in the house on the side of the sixth in the Dutch upper flight.
The son was in the heart of the sequence of the first half that captured Tottenham’s inability. Presented with a rare view of the goal, James Maddison He played a free kick on the edge of the box short from his son, who obviously did not expect the passage, quickly gave the assembly to the choir of Jeers from a lush domestic audience.
“Nowhere is it near where we should perform,” the son said TNT Sports. “It was very disappointing that we performed like this, including me. It’s a big invitation to wake up because next week is the biggest game in the season.
“We have not created anything in the first half, weakness, not exerting how we should. Everyone is very disappointed because of individual performances and teams.
“No pronunciation, we weren’t good enough. It’s only 1-0, it’s still not over, and next week we have to be much better.”
Spurs chief Ange postecoglou He repeated the feeling of his skipper, insisting that the performance of his part “is nowhere near the level that was supposed to be.” Instead of the question of “effort or attitude”, the Australian main coach accused his side of having no “real thinking of fighting a guest appearance in Europe”.
“You will face some pressure when you play away from home in Europe and the weather storm and get caught on to it,” Postecoglou explained, “but we never really made it a disappointment.”
Tottenham enjoyed a rare luxury of an eight -day break before traveling to Alkmaar. Despite recording a 1-0 vice versa In her previous way out at home in Manchester City, the mood in the N17 abolished consecutive victories over Manchester United and Ipswich Town last month.
However, this week’s gloomy defeat emphasized the importance of the Europa League for Tottenham a team that is already out of the domestic Cup competition and dived in the lower half of Table. As Son quickly emphasized, the tie is not over, but the Spurs will have to be a lot improved if they want to undo the deficit of one goal when they hosted AZ in northern London next Thursday.
