Speaking of Tottenham this season, it is really emotional. From the top of the Premier League table at the beginning of the season to the current slide to fifth, this process of ups and downs is like a rollercoaster. As a loyal Tottenham fan, I've been following every game of Tottenham very closely, but lately I've been feeling more and more that some of the new boss Postecoglou's hiring decisions are really puzzling.
What puzzled me the most was Postecoglou's attitude towards Hojbjerg. Hojbjerg, the Danish iron waist, is not only strong, but also has a solid stability in the midfield and back. I remember when he first moved from Southampton, there were many doubts about his ability to adapt, but he quickly dispelled those doubts with his performances. Even under a manager like Jose Mourinho, Hojbjerg is a solid workhorse.
But just this season, everything seems to have changed. The stats show that Hojbjerg has started a handful of games this season. Even if he plays, he can only be used as a substitute most of the time. Such a way of using it is undoubtedly a huge waste for such a talented player. Hojbjerg's absence also explains to some extent why Tottenham's record has fluctuated so much.
To be honest, it really hurts me to see Hojbjerg's situation at Tottenham. He is only 28 years old, which is the best period of his career. Over the past few seasons, Hojbjerg has not only been a model worker in the team, but also the heart of the central midfield. He is excellent defensively, interception, and stealing, and can also contribute some points and assists on the offensive end. However, everything seems to have changed after Postecoglou's arrival.
As it stands, Hojbjerg could leave Tottenham in the upcoming winter window. Juventus and Napoli in Serie A are both interested in him. As a Tottenham fan, I don't want to see him go, but from a career perspective, a move could be a good option. After all, a player like Hojbjerg deserves to shine on the pitch, not sit on the bench in obscurity.
In the end, I just hope that no matter where Hojbjerg goes, he can find his stage and continue to shine. At the same time, I also hope that Tottenham can adjust their form as soon as possible and regain the familiar style of a strong team. After all, for those of us who are die-hard fans, Tottenham will always be the champions in our hearts. I hope Tottenham can get out of the predicament as soon as possible and usher in new glory!
