Tottenham Player criticizes team-mate after Bayern Munich clash

Tottenham Hotspur suffered their first defeat of this summer’s pre-season against Bayern Munich.

The guys of Ange Postecoglou were dominating their friendlies. Before facing the formidable German team, they had won every game they had played. Regrettably, they lost that match.

But in preseason games, results are meaningless, and Postecoglou probably would not have cared too much about the outcome.

After the match, the Tottenham manager even gave numerous of his players accolades.Now that his manager has raved about one of them, so has Yves Bissouma.

Yves Bissouma hails Tottenham star Emerson Royal

Tottenham’s Emerson Royal came on as a substitute midway through the second half of the match.

Due to Spurs’ present lack of options in that region of the game, the Brazilian was once again used in the center of the defense.

Both Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero are still on vacation, despite the fact that they both performed well in the Copa America and the Euros.

Emerson has been linked with a move away from Tottenham, and it is very, very likely that he will be on his way out in the coming days.

However, that hasn’t stopped him from giving his all every time he is on the pitch for Spurs.

Emerson did a decent job at centre-back again for Tottenham against Bayern Munich on Saturday afternoon. He should be proud of his display.

Bissouma, who also came on as a substitute in the second half, was beyond impressed with the Brazil international.

Reposting a picture of Emerson on his Instagram Story, Bissouma wrote: “This guy is a soldier!”

What Postecoglou said about Emerson’s performance at centre-back

Emerson hasn’t been on top of Postecoglou’s pecking order since the start of the 2023/24 season.

However, the Brazilian stepped up when some of his teammates suffered from injuries, and he has played across the backline to help the team out.

The former Barcelona man had to fill in at centre-half again during Spurs’ pre-season tour, and Postecoglou admitted that he was concerned about using players out of position.

However, he hailed the Brazilian, as well as Jamie Donley and Oliver Skipp, for performing well in the heart of the defence.

Postecoglou said, as per Football London: “It’s probably been my one concern coming into it because you are playing players out of position. The games can become a little bit unrealistic.

“But, I thought the guys who had to fill in this whole tour have been really good. Skippy and Jamie Donley and Emerson playing at centre-back.

“So I think it’s allowed us at least to get something out of the games because I think if those positions didn’t work out, it would have been hard for us to sort of analyse.”

“But, I think they’ve all contributed to us trying to get as much as we can out of this camp.”
