He has done really well: Pundit impressed by Tottenham player Ange took off
After making an unexpected comeback to the Tottenham Hotspur team for their Sunday victory against Bournemouth, midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has given his assessment of the player’s performance to Matt Jarvis.
Spurs defeated the Cherries 3-1 in North London to cap up an incredible 2023. Ange Postecoglou’s team now trails Arsenal in the Premier League standings by only one point as a consequence of the outcome.
Tottenham’s unfortunate streak of injuries continued as players like Alejo Veliz and Pape Matar Sarr were substituted off in each half. However, there was also some positive news: Rodrigo Bentancur gave Spurs a significant boost.
Matt Jarvis commends Rodrigo Bentancur on his return to Tottenham
After being substituted in the loss to Aston Villa a little more than a month ago, Bentancur was predicted to be out until February. Matty Cash had thrown down a vicious challenge to him.
However, the Uruguayan managed to hold out against Andoni Iraola’s team until just before the hour mark. Furthermore, Jarvis said on BBC Radio Five Live (airing on December 31 at 15:15) that Bentancur performed well after his comeback.
He said, “You have to remember that we played 58 minutes in the first half, so he’s done really well.” “Especially in that first half, he looks sharp.” really smooth touches. It’s what they need in that middle, in my opinion. When it comes to the ball, he’s at ease. He moves slowly and is very at ease. And he spent a solid fifty-eight minutes there.
Significant advantage for Spurs
Bentancur was one of Tottenham’s few positives from the previous campaign. The 26-year-old, who missed a large portion of the season due to injury, was their third-highest striker in the Premier League.
Therefore, Ange Postecoglou’s relief at his prompt return is immense. He may significantly impact Tottenham’s season if he can have a string of successful games with the team.
And considering Bournemouth’s recent performance, Spurs have achieved a very remarkable victory.
