Reason why Spurs will be excellent next season (injuries permitting 🙈) Jose utilises systems that suits his players. Spurs have the potential to be one of the best direct teams in the league, with two of the best in Europe at evading pressure and getting ball forward
We’ve already seen the quick combination football that can carve sides open, without having anywhere near the players available. But there’s also lots of variety to attack. How do you stop Spurs scoring? Very difficult with the profile of players
But due to how quick spurs attack on transition, of course, you also need players who can defend transition and cover space. Spurs not having that one player in midfield to do that (cover defensive space) is like building a beatiful dining table, but baguettes for legs
All you need is a something to hold that table up, glue it together and that beautiful dining table works just fine! Not difficult to find those solid legs, just need a solid DM that can run, press and cover. Loads out there
And now JosĂ© can deploy any system you want, CB’s get cover so they look far better, attackers are freed up and they can be solid, compact, aggressive, ruthless on transition but also have players able to retain the ball in the middle and final third
