Yves Bissouma outlines how Tottenham Hotspur fell away despite a solid start to the season
Tottenham Hotspur failed to capitalize on an exciting start to the Premier League season, and midfielder Yves Bissouma has attempted to rationalize the possible factors that played a role in the Lilywhites’ inability to maintain momentum and achieve their expected potential.
Spurs have made significant progress since the appointment of Ange Postecoglou, and the Australian manager has wasted little time in capturing the imagination of the Spurs faithful. Tottenham is playing some of the most thrilling football in the Premier League, and it is certainly yielding some positive results.
The club has made rapid progress under the tutelage of the former Celtic manager, and now they find themselves in a position where there is a clear identity that supporters can rally behind. With a style of play that attracts and excites Spurs fans around the globe, Tottenham Hotspur under Ange Postecoglou has become a team to watch and support.
Yves Bissouma Reflects on Tottenham’s Season of Promise
The North Londoners began the season on a positive note, but as the campaign progressed and they faced tougher opposition, they found themselves in a battle for a traditional top-four finish, contending with Unai Emery’s Aston Villa. The Mali international shared his thoughts in a recent interview published in Spurs’ matchday program for the game against Luton(via. Football.London).
“This season started really good. Then after we were restricted because of a lot of injuries and suspensions, things like that put us in a difficult position. Sometimes I make mistakes, because I’m not perfect and still learning, so I know there’s more to come, but I’m happy and enjoying this role in the team,”
Bissouma acknowledges the impact of injuries and suspensions, recognizing how these challenges restricted the team’s performance. Despite his contributions, he humbly admits to making mistakes, emphasizing his ongoing learning process and commitment to improvement.
