Spurs summer signing admits he has had a mixed start since joining club
One of Tottenham’s summer acquisitions has admitted that he has plenty of room for improvement after a mixed start to his time at the Premier League side.
Bergvall still finding his feet at Spurs
Lucas Bergvall arrived at Tottenham with a huge reputation, with many back in his home country believing that the youngster has the potential to develop into the next big Swedish superstar.
Some Spurs fans understandably got carried away with the performances that the 18-year-old was delivering in pre-season, with many expecting him to become a first-team fixture.
However, the challenges associated with making the step up to a club of Tottenham‘s stature were always going to be considerable, and that is how it has proven to be for the teenager, who is still waiting for his first Premier League start.
Lucas Bergvall’s admission about his own performances
Bergvall has been called up to the Sweden squad for their upcoming Nations League matches, and he has been speaking to the press in his country about the start he has had to his time in North London.
The youngster conceded that his performances have been mixed so far, revealing that he was not happy with the display he delivered in Tottenham’s 3-2 loss to Galatasaray last week.
Bergvall told Fotbollskanalen: “There have been many matches recently and a lot of rotations in the team. It still feels good. I’m getting warmed up. It’s been a bit up and down. It was a very good game against AZ and then a less good game, really, against Gala [Galatasaray].”
Bergvall reveals he has learned a lot at Tottenham
Ange Postecoglou came to the Swede’s defence following his side’s loss in Turkey, insisting that it would have been a learning experience for the midfielder to have played in such a big European fixture at a difficult away ground (Tottenham’s official website).
Bergvall concurs with his manager, admitting that it was an eye-opening experience for him and the other youngsters in the Tottenham squad.
The midfielder said about the clash against Galatasaray: “Yes, it’s clear that there is a lot I can take from that match. It was a tough game for the whole team. We were not up to par.
“We have to do everything we can to improve for next time, because these are the kind of games you play in Europe. With an incredible setting, a lot of fans and a good opposing team.
“Especially us youngsters who haven’t played that many games in Europe can learn from it. It’s part of a career. It’s important to capitalise on it.”
