Losing Paris with a penalty kick: Frank s tactics are effective, will Tottenham have any achievements in the new season?

Udinette's final match was reviewed: Tottenham's lead was reversed twice, and Van Devin's penalty missed was a turning point!

Tottenham Hotspur experienced a roller coaster battle in the European Super Cup final - he was dragged by Paris Saint-Germain in a row to score two goals in a penalty shootout, and finally lost 3-4.

Despite the defeat, coach Thomas Frank's tactical deployment and player performance were still recognized, especially the new captain Christian Romero became the highlight of the game.

39 minutes: Tottenham breaks the deadlock! Vicario took a precise free kick, Romero headed the ball to create chaos, Palinia's shot was saved to the crossbar, and Van Devin followed up and scored an empty goal (1-0).

47 minutes: Tottenham expands its advantage! Polo made a free kick from the right, Romero headed the ball with no one in the back point without a mark, Paris goalkeeper Lucas Schevalier saved the ball and entered the net (2-0).

85 minutes: Paris wins back! Li Gangren shot from outside the penalty area and was in a dead corner, and Vicario was out of reach (2-1).

90 minutes: Paris is tied! Gonzalo Ramos headed the ball with a cross from Dembele, and Tottenham's defense relaxed at the last moment (2-2).

Penalty Battle: Solank, Bentancur, and Polo made a free throw, but Van Devin was saved, Terr missed the penalty, and Paris' Mendes made the final decision.

Player rating: Romero 8 points were won over, Terr's substitute performed disaster

Romero (8 points): The new captain showed leadership temperament and dominant performance at both offense and defense. Not only did he head the ball to create his first goal, but he also scored in person. In the end, due to his physical strength decline, Ramos was unable to stop his final victory, and the flaws did not hide his merits.

Van Dewen (8 points): scored with a complementary shot + cleared by the key goal line, and performed perfectly in offense and defense. Although it was a pity that the penalty kick was saved, the whole game contributed 4 interceptions and 3 clearances, which was the cornerstone of the defense.

Polo (8 points): Assisted Romero to score, he was full of vitality on both ends of the offense and defense, and created threats through long passes and breakthroughs many times. He made a calm shot in the penalty shootout.

Sal (8 points): A midfielder with an all-round warrior covering an area of 12.3km², completed 6 successful steals, and sent out key passes many times during series attacks.

Tel (4 points): A substitute made a disaster-level performance, he sent a free kick for a foul at the front of the penalty area, lost the ball multiple times, and the penalty kick was missed directly to the victory, becoming the lowest score in the game.

Frank continued the "pragmatic football"

set-piece tactics promised by the pre-match press conference: Both goals came from carefully designed set-piece cooperation, and Romero's back-point encirclement tactics hit the weak link of Paris' air defense - Data shows that Paris had conceded 7 goals in set-piece last season, doubled compared with the same period last season.

Three Central Defense System: Although Kevin Dansor made a little awkward in his debut, he created chaos through 7 successful long passes (success rate of 83%), and the defense line with Romero and Van Devin completely blocked the opponent in the first 85 minutes.

High-level pressing: 11 of the 14 successful steals in the game were concentrated in the frontcourt, forcing Paris to make the midfield turnover rate to as high as 27%, but the decline in physical fitness caused the weakening of the defense intensity in the final stage, and Paris seized the opportunity.

Paris coach Enrique's substitution adjustment became a turning point: Ramos and Li Gangren, who were replaced in the 65th minute, revitalizing the right side, and the two teamed up to create 2 goals, confirming the shortcomings of Tottenham's lack of depth on the bench — Frank admitted after the game: "We need more players like Saar who can continue to output strength. "

Post-match voice: Frank affirms the team's performance

Frank said in the mixed interview area: "I am proud of the players, we have demonstrated tactical discipline and fighting spirit. Setting the ball score is within the plan, but physical management and lineup depth need to be improved. "

Captain Romero declared domineeringly: "This is just the beginning, we will convert this loss into motivation. The next time we meet, the victory will belong to us. "

Frank's tactical system has begun to show results, and core players such as Romero and Van Devin are in full swing. If the management can strengthen the front line and midfield depth in the transfer window, it is expected to reach the forefront of the Premier League in the new season.
