Ange Postecoglou is allegedly making a mistake by not starting Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg for Tottenham, according to Danish media.
Hojbjerg has slipped down the pecking order this season after spending three years as a fixture in Tottenham’s starting eleven after joining the team from Southampton.
The 28-year-old is yet to begin a Premier League game this season due to the superb early-season play of the midfield trio of Yves ape Matar Sarr, and
Hojbjerg stated that he and Postecoglou have had a “good dialogue” over his role this season in an interview with Bold last week. He also stated that he is ready to give his all whenever the chance aris Pes.
During the international break, the former Saints star provided as a reminder of his abilities by scoring goals against San Marino and Finland, with the latter goal serving as the game-winning goal in overtime.
After Hojbjerg’s performance against the Finns, Danish media gushed about the Tottenham player.
By leaving the midfielder on the bench, Postecoglou is committing a “mistake,” according to BT, which complimented the player for his “decisive quality and the psyche that all football teams yearn for.”
While Ekstrabladet gave Hojbjerg a five-star rating and thanked him for his valiant effort and game-winning goal, Bold added that Hojbjerg put up a “good fight” against Finland and called his winning goal a “missile.”
Tottenham Web Opinion
Hojbejrg’s expertise and mentality are plainly valued by Postecoglou, as evidenced by the Australian’s repeated use of the Dane in the second half to assist Spurs finish off victories. I do not anticipate the 28-year-old joining Tottenham’s starting lineup any time soon, though.
