Ange Postecoglou says there is even ‘more to come’ from one Spurs star
Ange Postecoglou has given Spurs fans something to be excited about by suggesting that we have not even seen the best of one star, who has been on fire so far this campaign.
Tottenham star had an off day against Crystal Palace
Dejan Kulusevski has undoubtedly been Spurs’ best player so far this season, regularly taking games by the scruff of the neck and proving to be one of the Lilywhites’ main creative outlets.
However, the 24-year-old was one of several Tottenham stars to struggle to impose themselves on the game at Selhurst Park as the North Londoners fell to a bruising 1-0 loss.
In fact, Kulusevski was so bad that he was even named in the worst Premier League Team of the Week, as assembled by Football365 based on the Whoscored ratings.
Fortunately, he followed that up with a Man of the Match performance against Man City in the Carabao Cup. He even laid on another two assists against the reigning Premier League champions.
Ange Postecoglou expects Dejan Kulusevski to get better
Ange Postecoglou has now revealed that Kulusevski struggled to mentally get into the game against Palace after picking up a knock early in the encounter.
The Tottenham head coach suggested that the Sweden international will learn from these kinds of experiences and get even better over the coming months and years.
Postecoglou told Football.london: “I think Deki is growing but I think that’s kind of where we are as a group. A lot of them are growing and growing through experiences.
“I think for Deki at the weekend was another growth period because he got hurt pretty early and wasn’t happy with it. In many respects, he lost a bit of his composure after that and that’s another growth for him.
“To understand it is part of it and focus your energy on helping the team on the day rather than being personally aggrieved, but that’s where we are as a group and that’s where we get our growth.
“By going through experiences like we did at the weekend with a lot of the players and them going through that and understanding how to deal with it better next time. Deki has been fantastic for us this year in both his output and his attitude and mentality. I think there is more to come.”
Kulusevski’s mentality sets him apart
The one edge Kulusevski has over many other players is his drive to constantly improve and become the best player that he can be.
That comes across in almost every interview that the former Juventus man gives, and that tendency of his is why Postecoglou is confident that the attacker will continue to get better and better.
