Tottenham's real reason for the change is here!

Is Tottenham Hotspur, which has been shaking with disastrous defense over the past year, right.

Tottenham, which started the English Premier League in the 2023/24 season with new head coach Ange Postecoglou, has changed dramatically. It competed at the top of the Premier League this season as its defense, which had been weak, improved significantly.

Statistics prove this. "FBREF," which delivers various statistics related to soccer around the world, said on Sunday that Tottenham was ranked at the top of the tackling list among the five major European leagues Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and League 1 this season.

First of all, Tottenham was confirmed to be the team that attempted the most tackles in Europe's five major leagues this season, recording a total of 325 tackle attempts. The two players are the most active in tackling Tottenham this season, with Mali midfielder Yves Bissouma recording 47 tackle attempts and Spain fullback Pedro Porro recording 46.


Of course, it is good to have a lot of tackle attempts, but the most important thing is the number of success. Even if you try a lot of tackles, it doesn't mean much if you have more failures than success, but Tottenham also ranked first in the five major leagues in terms of tackle success, making it the most accurate tackle team in Europe.

Tottenham's total number of successful tackles this season is 208, and the tackle success rate is about 64% compared to the number of attempts. Considering that Everton, which has the second highest number of tackle attempts after Tottenham, has a 58% chance of successful tackles 187/322, Tottenham's figure deserves high evaluation.

The key to Tottenham's No. 1 tackle success rate was POW's performance. This season, POW posted a tackle success rate of 70 percent 32/46 to become the fourth most successful tackle player in Europe's five major leagues. Bissouma, ranking sixth overall in tackles, also faithfully played a role in protecting the defense in the midfield by posting a success rate of 62 percent 29/47.

Another thing to note is the number of tackles Tottenham tried in "Attacking Third." Attacking third refers to an offensive camp that divides the stadium into three equal parts and includes the opponent's goal.


The more tackles in the Attacking Third area, the more forward pressure attempts there are. In this category, Tottenham is tied for second with Serie A's Fiorentina with 52 times, the most after French Ligue 1 champion PSG 59 times.

If forward pressure is successful, it has the advantage of blocking the opponent's attack development and immediately leading to an attack. However, in order to increase the success rate of forward pressure, you need to increase your organizational power and then apply pressure on a team basis to increase the likelihood of intercepting the ball.

Therefore, forward pressure is a tactic that requires even one player to work hard. As evidenced by this, Bissouma 8 times, Destiny Udogi 7 times, Pororo 6 times, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski five times, Papé Sarr 4 times, and Son Heung-min 3 times all succeeded in forward pressure, pressing the opponent strongly from the top, regardless of position.

As the team's best 11 players moved well systematically, Tottenham won eight games and drew two draws until the 10th round of the league, leading the Premier League with an unbeaten run. Since then, it has fallen to the 5th place as the winless period has lengthened due to a series of injuries.


However, this means that Tottenham will be able to revive its early performance in the season once the injured return. When the best 11 was intact, Tottenham's performance was unbelievable as the team that finished eighth in the Premier League last season.

One of the reasons Tottenham finished eighth after a lackluster year is defensive instability. Last season, Tottenham scored as many as 63 runs in 38 league games, Tottenham's most in a single season since the Premier League changed to 38 games.

Tottenham's season with the most runs in the league in a year was the 2002/03 season 62 runs, which allowed one more goal, setting a new record for the most runs in just 30 years.

Last season, Tottenham's tackle success rate was only 57%, and the number of tackles in the Attacking Third region was only 79, ranking 50th overall in Europe's five major leagues. Tottenham, which was evaluated as having a bad defense despite being a strong Premier League player, transformed into a completely different team in less than a year. 스포츠토토
