27yr old star apologises for rant over youngster, promises Spurs fans to be part of club legend

Guglielmo Vicario, Tottenham Hotspur’s dynamic Italian goalkeeper, has set his sights on achieving what many before him have tried and failed to do—end the club’s agonizing 16-year wait for silverware.

With his eyes firmly fixed on bringing glory back to North London, Vicario dreams of etching his name into Tottenham’s storied history by helping the club secure its first trophy since their 2008 League Cup triumph.

It has been over a decade since Tottenham’s loyal fan base celebrated a major trophy. The 2008 League Cup final victory remains the last time Spurs lifted silverware, and the ensuing years have been marked by near-misses and unfulfilled potential.

As Tottenham prepares for the new season under the guidance of manager Ange Postecoglou, the ambition to end this drought is stronger than ever. For Vicario, being part of a team that finally brings home a trophy would not only be career-defining but would also secure his place in the club’s history books.

Ahead of Tottenham’s crucial away match against Newcastle, Vicario outlined his main objectives for the upcoming season. While securing a top-four finish in the Premier League is an important goal, the Italian shot-stopper emphasized that winning a trophy would be the pinnacle of his career.

“The target is to try to be a team until the 25th of May,” Vicario stated. “And try to build a big team until the 25th of May. Of course, we are athletes, and we want to win. We are born to try to win things and to be remembered by our fans because we know, if we do it at Tottenham, we will be remembered for life—for eternity.”

For Vicario, the prospect of returning to Tottenham’s stadium decades from now and seeing his image immortalized in the club’s corridors is a powerful motivator. “Maybe, one day you come back to the stadium, walk into the tunnel, into the corridor and see some pictures of you and say: ‘Ok, 40 years ago I did this!’ If it’s me in the pictures, it’d be very nice.”

Vicario’s passion for success is evident not just in his performances on the pitch, but also in his interactions with teammates. The 27-year-old has taken on an unofficial mentorship role within the squad, particularly with the younger players.

However, he recently admitted that he went too far in his public reprimand of teenage signing Lucas Bergvall during Tottenham’s 1-1 draw against Leicester.

Reflecting on the incident, Vicario expressed remorse for his actions. “I was too aggressive with him. I apologised. Maybe at that moment it was because we’d dominated a game for 70 mins and then conceded. I had a feeling in the last five minutes we could lose the game. But it was not the right way, screaming to him. But he understands. He’s a good guy.”

Despite the outburst, Vicario and Bergvall remain on good terms, with the goalkeeper emphasizing the importance of communication and learning from such experiences. “It’s part of football. We are men. I suffered this too when younger.

We are good friends and speak about sometimes having feelings of the game, the environment, when you, maybe, play away games and everybody is more excited.”

As Tottenham prepares to face Newcastle at St James’ Park, the stakes are high. Last season, Spurs suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat at the hands of Eddie Howe’s side, and Vicario is determined to ensure that history does not repeat itself. “We’re playing in a tough place, against a very good team, but, of course, we have very good players. Now I think we are a different team.”

Vicario’s confidence in Tottenham’s evolution under Postecoglou is shared by fans and pundits alike, who have noted the team’s improved performances in recent matches. The trip to Newcastle will be a crucial test of Tottenham’s progress and their ability to compete with the Premier League’s top teams.

Vicario’s commitment to the club extends beyond the first team. He recently took part in a goalkeeping masterclass session for 8-13-year-olds, organized by Tottenham Hotspur’s Global Football Development programme at Richard Hale School in Hertfordshire.

Through this initiative, Vicario hopes to inspire the next generation of goalkeepers and instill in them the same passion and dedication that drives him to succeed at the highest level.

As Tottenham embarks on a new campaign, Guglielmo Vicario’s dreams of ending the club’s long wait for silverware are within reach. With a blend of talent, determination, and leadership, the Italian goalkeeper is poised to play a pivotal role in Tottenham’s quest for glory. Whether it’s guiding the team to a top-four finish or lifting a trophy, Vicario’s journey to becoming a Tottenham legend has just begun.
