Hugo Lloris explained why Tottenham Hotspur could not win.
Tottenham’s best time in recent years is also under Pochettino. Mauricio Pochettino led Tottenham for six seasons from the 2014-15 season and achieved many achievements. He was praised as the best coach in Tottenham’s history since the launch of the Premier League, ranking second in the league and second in the UEFA Champions League (UCL). 여우알바
Son Heung-min was also in his prime during this period. Notably, the legendary DESK line that he formed with Harry Kane, Christian Eriksen, and Dele Alli was considered the most threatening striker in Europe beyond the PL. However, there was always no connection to the trophy. After Pochettino’s departure, Tottenham did not recover their former self for a while. Even under Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, they sparkled in the beginning, but they failed to keep up with the trend and fell into a slump.
Coach Enze Postecoglou was newly appointed this season, but the possibility of no involvement is rising again. Currently, Tottenham is in fifth place with 14 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses. At the beginning of the season, it was well-received for its revived offensive football, but it rarely overcame problems such as frequent injuries and defensive instability.
Legendary Lloris, Tottenham’s captain and goalkeeper until last season, opened his mouth. Lloris said in a global media outlet The Athletic, “I could see him developing year by year under Pochettino. We were very competitive. It was close to winning, but I think we missed two or three more players who had to be recruited to succeed and win trophies at the time,” adding that he needed to be more active in recruiting players.
They also talked about the stadium. Tottenham, which used White Hart Lane as its home stadium, briefly used Wembley Stadium as its home stadium due to the demolition issue.
Lloris said, “At the time, they were focusing on building a new stadium. The club couldn’t keep up with our pace of development. We had to go to Wembley when we felt we had the greatest ability to win. We had 17 wins and two draws with no loss at White Hart Lane. At the time, I thought we could score more points if we stayed there, but we moved to another Wembley game in both the environment and the stadium.”
