I always listen: Pape Matar Sarr says £25M Tottenham player is now incredibly important behind the scenes
Ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s crucial encounter with Aston Villa today, Pape Matar Sarr has been effusive in his praise for one of his teammates.
Sarr, who has significantly increased his Premier League appearances compared to last season, is expected to feature prominently against Villa.
Ange Postecoglou has relied heavily on Sarr in midfield, particularly before his departure for the Africa Cup of Nations.
However, the return to fitness of Rodrigo Bentancur has intensified competition for starting berths in midfield alongside Yves Bissouma.
Bissouma’s standout performance against Crystal Palace in the previous match showcased his importance to the team.
If Tottenham is to secure a positive result against Villa, they will rely on Bissouma to assert control in midfield, thwarting the threat posed by players like Douglas Luiz.
Interestingly, Sarr has publicly praised his Tottenham midfield counterpart, Bissouma, ahead of the crucial clash with Villa.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Sarr described Bissouma as a mentor figure, likening him to a “big brother” who provided invaluable support during challenging times.
Sarr highlighted Bissouma’s role in offering guidance and emphasized his significance within the team and the club. The camaraderie between the two players underscores the positive atmosphere within the Tottenham squad.
As both Sarr and Bissouma continue to excel this season, their partnership in midfield will be pivotal for Tottenham’s success against Villa.
Postecoglou understands the importance of securing a victory to enhance Tottenham’s prospects in the race for fourth place, although he acknowledges the formidable challenge that lies ahead.
