CloseMatch Revisión: West Ham vs Tottenham el 24/10/2021
Tottenham manager Nuno Espirito Santo will bring a full kit to Burnley for his team’s Carabao Cup game on Wednesday.
Nuno traveled to the Netherlands for the Europa Conference League game with Vitesse Arnhem last week without any of the players who started the Premier League loss to West Ham on Sunday.
But Nuno will bring all his important weapons to Turf Moor as the Spurs aim to reach the quarterfinals of the competition.
The Portuguese has hinted that there will be changes, but it will not be a second row team. as in Holland.
“Basically yes, but we have players that we need, players that are working hard, maybe with the expectation that they will have more minutes, the expectation that they will deserve more minutes,” he said. he said when asked if his Premier League team would travel.
“But it’s up to us to handle all these situations individually, while looking at what the best partnerships are for what we want to be as a team.”
Tottenham come into the game from behind a desperately disappointing loss to West Ham on Sunday, their fourth defeat of the season in a London derby.
That puts pressure on Nuno, who could be hit the hardest if Spurs are eliminated from one of the competitions that represent a viable possibility of winning a trophy this season.
As a result, he has told his players to treat the game as a final.
“It is going to be a tough game as we expect because Burnley is a good team, but it is a good opportunity for us to improve, knowing that the Carabao Cup is an important competition for us,” he added.
“We have to go game by game and then this game is a final. It is an opportunity for us to improve our game, to compete well knowing that we have to handle some situations.
“We have players who need minutes, who deserve minutes, but it is up to us to handle the situation of the players because what we want is to build a competitive team.
“Focusing only on tomorrow’s game, we are going to face a tough opponent, we know their characteristics – they are very physical, set pieces, aggressive – but at the same time I think we are improving our game.
“The possession has been much better, the dynamics have been much better but these are details that we can only achieve during the competition, so I tell you that it is very important for us to improve in the game, doing the things we want, the things that we prepare for. and put it in the field ”.
Matt Doherty has recovered from injury and will be involved, leaving Ryan Sessegnon as the only injured player.
“He’s back in the group, that’s good news,” Nuno said of the Republic of Ireland international.
»He will be on the team, but it is up to us to decide the right moment. ment to integrate all players. The only bad news we have at the moment is Ryan Sessegnon, he still can’t join us.
