beep!

A whistle blows and the game officially begins.

The first team to kick off was the home team Tottenham Hotspur. They did not test too much and gave up the attack directly.

Obviously, Pochettino came here for victory in this game.

The frontcourt uses frequent running and high pressure.

It is a pity that Tottenham Hotspur's frontcourt mobility is still slightly poor. When Jensen and Kane press in the high position, the frontal pressing is still very good, and the defensive area is large. However, their turning, lateral movement, etc. are still a bit poor, and their crazy attack is not as interesting as it is.

Therefore, despite Tottenham Hotspur's aggressive pressing in the frontcourt, there is actually no substantial threat.

Jensen, who won the Eredivisie Golden Boot last season, did not show impressive strength.

This guy did perform well in the Eredivisie AZ Alkmaar last season. He scored 27 goals and 4 assists in 34 league appearances and won the Eredivisie Golden Boot last season. This summer Tottenham Hotspur spent 20 million pounds to bring this 22-year-old guy to the Premier League, but his current performance does not look good.

Of course, this also has something to do with Tottenham Hotspur's overall poor condition.

In particular, Kane's poor condition has a greater impact on him.

In this starting lineup, Kane plays as an attacking midfielder. Kane is obviously there to attract the opponent's key defender or cause double teams, and then he or his teammates create opportunities for Jensen.

Unfortunately, Kane's condition was not good in these two games.

The opponent doesn't pay special attention to Kane's defense, so Jensen is also under strict defense here.

Although Jensen played well in the Eredivisie, in fact, after coming to Tottenham Hotspur, he exposed his lack of ability to create opportunities on his own.

Although he has only played one game, this shortcoming can be seen.

At least Tong Yi could see it.

Therefore, it will be easier for the Crystal Palace players to defend Jensen. They only need to prevent Jensen from catching the ball in a dangerous position. In other positions, this guy does not pose much of a threat when he catches the ball.
