Ange Postecoglou believes the Spurs star gets better each time he watches him
Ange Postecoglou has expressed strong confidence in the development of one of Tottenham’s young talents, noting how the player seems to improve with every session and match. The manager believes this youngster has the potential to grow into a top player under his guidance.
Radu Dragusin, a promising 22-year-old, has had limited playing time since joining Tottenham earlier in the year. However, he now has a crucial opportunity to step up and showcase his skills as Tottenham faces a few games without Micky van de Ven, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury expected to keep him out until after the international break.
Eager to prove himself, Dragusin aims to demonstrate his abilities, and Postecoglou has full faith in his potential.
Postecoglou recently praised Dragusin’s attributes, work ethic, and resilience, highlighting how the defender dedicates himself daily to improving various facets of his game.
The manager described Dragusin as having the defensive qualities and mindset that fit Tottenham’s goals, recognizing that his journey has been one of hard work and determination.
According to Postecoglou, Dragusin’s consistent effort and commitment to growth show in his performances, where noticeable improvements are evident each time he takes the field.
With his strong defensive skills, Dragusin has shown the potential to thrive in Tottenham’s system, which differs significantly from the style he experienced at Genoa. Postecoglou explained that adapting to Tottenham’s aggressive style, which emphasizes a high defensive line and one-on-one challenges, required adjustment for the Romanian.
Yet, Dragusin has embraced this new system enthusiastically, becoming increasingly comfortable with the demands placed on him by Postecoglou’s tactical approach.
In a recent match, Dragusin not only displayed his growing footballing skills but also his leadership on the pitch. Following injuries to two of Tottenham’s starting defenders, Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero, Dragusin was left to anchor the backline with 18-year-old Archie.
His composed presence and organizational skills helped maintain the team’s defensive structure despite these disruptions. Postecoglou commended his ability to stand up in a challenging situation, showing maturity and presence under pressure that underscored his readiness to take on more responsibility in Tottenham’s defense.
As Tottenham continues to nurture young players, Postecoglou believes that defenders like Dragusin have significant potential for long-term growth, given that defensive skills often improve with age and experience.
He sees Dragusin, along with players like Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie, as crucial components of Tottenham’s future, confident they will only grow stronger in the coming years.
For now, Dragusin’s focus will be on making the most of his current opportunity, stepping in for the injured van de Ven and proving himself worthy of a more consistent role in Tottenham’s defense.
With Postecoglou’s backing and the determination he has displayed thus far, Dragusin could become an essential figure for Spurs, solidifying his place in a team with ambitious goals for the season ahead.
