Dejan Kulusevski says he wants to be one of the best players in the world
Dejan Kulusevski played a pivotal role in Tottenham’s win over Manchester City in the Carabao Cup tonight, and the Spurs star has been speaking after the game about how important that result could be. He even added that he wants to become one of the best players in the world!
Dejan Kulusevski shines again
It has been a terrific season for Dejan Kulusevski so far, with the Swedish attacker relishing his new role in a more central area for Spurs.
He has been the best and most influential player in Ange Postecoglou‘s side of late, and continued that run of form with another dazzling display against City in the Carabao Cup.
Kulusevski provided two assists to help his team win the game, ran the City defence ragged all game, and put in a high-energy, creative performance once again, earning the man of the match award on the night.
Spurs need to stay focused
In his post-match interview with Sky Sports, Kulusevski was asked about the importance of that victory and how it can affect the rest of the season for him and the rest of the Spurs squad, but he insisted the key thing is for them all to stay focused on the next game only.
He said: “It is important to win and go through the cup. When you play a great time like City you always want to win – I am proud of the boys. I always love this game, playing the best teams in the world, I want to be one of the best players in the world.
“We have to keep going and win every game. We have to keep focused.”
Say it quietly, but this win could be huge
Obviously, the players and the manager will play down the significance of this win, but it is something of a statement for sure. We go on in the cup now, having knocked out the best team in England, and hopefully, it gives the players that extra belief they need to keep pushing on this season.
