The opportunity to relaunch in the rankings not to be missed. This is one of the meanings surrounding the London derby for the Tottenham against West Ham, who also need to recover after their latest slip-up against Brighton immediately before the break. The Spurs coach himself presented the challenge to the microphones of TNT Sports, Ange Postecoglouwho started by commenting on the returns of Son Heung-Min and Richarlison: “It’s fantastic for both of them. Sonny was frustrated about missing the last game, he never played this year. They are both fundamental players for us in many ways of sight”.
On Yves Bissouma’s departure as starter: “Bissouma gives us something different in the build-up phase, I thought it would be more suitable for today’s match.” Instead the reaction necessary after the defeat against Brighton: “The proof will be in the pudding. It’s important to reflect on that match in the right way. It’s not like it’s out of our reach if we replicate what we did in the first half. It’s an excellent motivation, because we know that a victory can give great value to our fans. We need them to support us and we can give them energy if we get a positive result today.”
