Ryan Mason Confident in Leading Tottenham for the Remainder of the Season

Ryan Mason expressed his confidence in his ability to lead Tottenham in the remaining matches of the season, after he took over the task of supervising him after the humiliating loss to Newcastle United 1-6 on Sunday in the thirty-second stage of the English Football League.

But the humiliating loss against Newcastle on Sunday, in a meeting during which the London team fell behind 0-5 after only 21 minutes, prompted the club management to abandon the services of Stellini and replace him with Mason, who had previously taken over the job temporarily at the end of the 2020-2021 season after the dismissal of Portuguese Jose Mourinho.

The former Spurs midfielder, whose career ended in 2017 after suffering a skull fracture while defending the colors of Hull City, will lead the team in the remaining six matches of the season, the first of which is Thursday against Manchester United, advanced in the last fourth place that qualifies for the Champions League, by six points, with two matches postponed. in his sleeve too.

On the eve of the difficult meeting against United, which will be followed by another arduous confrontation Sunday at Liverpool, Mason said, “I am comfortable. This is part of your involvement in football. You have to be ready and I am ready. I have no doubt about that,” noting that his first experience as a temporary coach. 2021 “was confirmation that I’m ready for this kind of situation.”
