Обсуждение участника:“Emerson, you were the best” “Hill, you are crack” The pride of the Tottenham candidates who held Man City back
After winning a dramatic draw in the away game against Manchester City, the pride of Tottenham Hotspur players was inflated.
Tottenham drew 3-3 with Manchester City in the 15th round away game of the 2023-2024 English Premier League away to Etihad Stadium in Manchester. Son Heung-min stood out the most in many ways, scoring one goal and one assist and even recording an own goal.
Tottenham, famous for being particularly strong against Manchester City, broke their previous three-game losing streak in away games against the strongest team. Although Manchester City created many high-quality scoring opportunities, Tottenham continued to hit difficult shots in every counterattack situation led by Son Heung-min.
After the game, Tottenham players exchanged victory congratulatory messages on social media (SNS) Instagram. In particular, winger Brian Hill, who commented on defender Emerson Royal's post, stood out. Hill told Royal, “You are the best.” Royal called Hill "crack" and praised him as a player with the power to shake up a match.
In fact, the two players did nothing in the process of defeating Manchester City. Hill is playing left winger due to an injury to his starting attacker. He plays hard but is not efficient due to his small physique and inability to use his right foot. While Emerson has been pushed out of the competition for the starting fullback spot, he has recently taken over the center position, taking advantage of the absence of center backs. On this day, they attempted to steal the ball 5 times but failed 3 times, showing an unstable central defense and not being able to deal with Manchester City's strong pressure even in the build-up situation.
Regardless of their contribution to the game, the players' pride and encouragement to one another shows that Tottenham is well-united as a team. Christian Romero, who was absent due to disciplinary action, and Brennan Johnson, another member of the attack, also visited and took time to praise each other's play.
The social media atmosphere is the opposite of Man City. When Erling Holland's through ball to Jack Grealish was invalidated due to an earlier foul, controversy arose that not applying the advantage was akin to a misjudgment. Holan also posted a post on social media expressing his blatant dissatisfaction with the decision.
While Manchester City has been struggling with a draw in three consecutive games, the point gap with leader Arsenal widened to three points, and second place was lost to Liverpool. Currently, Man City is in 3rd place. Tottenham maintained 5th place.
