Tottenham Hotspur have won against Forest in recent days, but this victory has been overshadowed by team discipline problems. Bissouma received a red card for a foul, and Udogjee accumulated yellow cards and was suspended. Neville commented on this, bluntly pointing out the seriousness of the problem. Postecoglou's response, while trying to justify the players' behaviour, also exposed a lapse in the team's discipline.
First of all, we have to admit that football is a fierce sport and the occasional foul is inevitable. However, the suspensions of Bissouma and Udogie are not just individual mistakes, they are a manifestation of a lack of discipline in the team. Neville pointed out that such fouls have not been seen for a long time, but have recently resurfaced, reflecting a possible laxity in the team's discipline.
Discipline is not only a matter of individual players, but also of a team ethos。A team that lacks discipline, no matter how talented it is, will struggle to consistently win at a high level. Tottenham have the likes of Sergio Romero and Udogie and their quality is unquestionable, but frequent red and yellow card problems will undoubtedly affect the team's overall performance. As Neville said, the suspension of the player has cost Tottenham in a way that no team seeking to win wants.
As a player, I know how important it is to keep my emotions in check. Every action on the football field can affect the direction of the game, let alone the behavior that directly leads to the team losing points. Neville's anger and disappointment represent the hearts of all fans who care about Tottenham. As a professional footballer, you should be aware that your actions are not only an individual performance, but also represent the image of the team and the club.
Postecoglou tried to defend the player, but that doesn't completely hide the seriousness of the problem. He mentioned that the commitment and drive shown by the players is certainly commendable, but football is not just about passion and hard work, it is also a manifestation of wisdom and self-control. Discipline is the basic principle that every professional player must abide by
What Tottenham need to do is not only improve technically and tactically, but more importantly build a disciplined team. Whether it's for the long-term development of the team or for the fans, discipline is an integral part. Hopefully, Tottenham can learn from this incident, not just to deal with the discipline of individual players, but to raise the awareness of discipline at the level of the whole team so that they can achieve better results in future competitions.
In short, every minute and every second on the football field is a test of a player's self-control and team discipline. Tottenham's red card scandal is not only a warning, but also an opportunity to improve. Hopefully, Tottenham will learn from Xi and become stronger and more disciplined so that we, the loyal fans, can be proud of.
