Guglielmo Vicario has admitted that he enjoys the way the likes of Rodrigo Bentacnur and Destiny Udogie are able to play through the opposition’s press even when they receive the ball in tight areas.
Ange Postecoglou repeatedly encourages his side to take the riskier option and play through the opposition bravely, with the Australian often being quite irritated on the touchline when he sees his players hoofing the ball up the pitch.
While that has produced some sublime moments this season in which the Lilywhites have brilliantly cut through the opposition to go from back to front, it has also led to some mistakes at the club, with some Spurs players often guilty of giving the ball away in dangerous positions.
Vicario loves playing with Udogie and Bentancur
In a video on Tottenham’s YouTube channel, Vicario was asked to react to a comment from one Spurs fan praising Bentancur and Udogie for the way they combined to manoeuvre out of pressure at the back.
Reacting to that, the Spurs number one said: “To go over the pressure of the opponents with some of the skills they do. The body movements and the skills with their feet, they are absolutely brilliant.
“For me from the back, it’s a pleasure watching them do this kind of stuff just looking at them because I am comfortable and I know we can score a new goal and have a new chance.”
Spurs Web Opinion
The advantage of taking the high-risk option by playing through the press rather than going direct is that the game opens up as soon as you get through the first line of press. This is clearly central to Postecoglou’s philosophy and not something I see the Australian changing.
