Guglielmo Vicario reveals why he screams at his Spurs teammates
Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has addressed his fiery reactions after Spurs concede a goal, shedding light on why he often raises his voice at teammates.
Vicario’s challenges in the Premier League
Guglielmo Vicario has been steadily establishing himself as Tottenham’s number-one keeper since joining from Empoli last summer. His performances have earned him a key role in Ange Postecoglou’s high-press, attacking side, but the Italian’s confidence between the posts has not always been without its challenges.
There are still aspects of his game that require fine-tuning—his set-piece handling has emerged as an area that could be further developed, especially when facing physical opposition during aerial duels.
Nevertheless, Vicario’s willingness to take control of his backline is evident in how he communicates with the players in front of him.
His vocal instructions—especially in moments of defensive lapses—are a significant part of how he keeps his teammates organised and focused after a goal is conceded. It’s in these high-pressure situations where Vicario’s leadership shines through.
Vicario explains his vocal leadership
Speaking in a recent interview with Gazzetta dello Sport (via SportWitness), Vicario discussed why he sometimes raises his voice at his teammates following defensive mistakes. For him, it’s not about assigning blame, but rather about refocusing the team’s mindset after they’ve been caught out.
He said: “I think you shouldn’t get carried away by negative moments and you need to immediately raise the decibel level of the team.
“Every now and then it helps and I try to do it, because maybe I’m the one who is a bit more lucid at the back and can see certain things better. But I always do everything for the common good, in the interest of bringing home the result.”
This comment offers insight into Vicario’s mentality, which revolves around ensuring his team remains focused on the game, even in the face of setbacks. His intention, he says, is always to lift the team rather than to dwell on their mistakes, which he believes can help Tottenham stay competitive in tough situations.
Guglielmo Vicario – Beyond the stats
Beyond his impressive saves, Vicario’s growing influence in the Spurs squad is becoming evident. His ability to organise and communicate effectively with his defenders has made him a trusted figure at the back, and his vocal approach may well be the leadership quality Tottenham need to improve their defensive record.
In a season where Tottenham have shown flashes of brilliance but remain prone to defensive lapses, Vicario’s vocal presence will be crucial. His ability to communicate and organise from the back is especially important, as Spurs’ defenders have been known to lose focus during matches. Rather than a sign of frustration, his constant communication serves to refocus the team and keep them fighting for every point.
As Tottenham’s campaign progresses, Vicario’s leadership, both through his words and his performances, could prove pivotal in pushing Spurs closer to their goal of securing a return to Champions League football.
