Dominic Solanke raves about Antonin Kinsky after Tottenham debut
Antonin Kinsky, debut performance against Liverpool, has left his teammates singing his praises. Among those most impressed was Dominic Solanke, who hailed the young goalkeeper’s confidence and composure on such a massive stage.
The build-up to a debut under the spotlight
Antonin Kinsky certainly did not have to wait long to make his Tottenham Hotspur debut, as Ange Postecoglou threw the newly signed Czech Republic goalkeeper straight into the fray just three days after his arrival at the N17 club.
With Liverpool as the opposition, the stakes could hardly have been higher, but the decision to start the youngster proved inspired.
Not only did Kinsky appear comfortable in possession, showcasing an ability on the ball that rivalled many outfield players, but he also excelled in his primary role—shot-stopping.
On several occasions throughout the match, the Czech keeper pulled off vital saves that kept Tottenham in contention, cementing what can only be described as a dream debut.
Dominic Solanke’s praise for Antonin Kinsky’s debut heroics
Dominic Solanke, who provided a stunning assist for Tottenham’s decisive goal against Liverpool, was quick to heap praise on Kinsky for his remarkable debut performance.
Speaking to Sky Sports alongside the young goalkeeper, Solanke offered a glowing assessment of his new teammate, particularly given the limited preparation time Kinsky had before being thrust into action.
Solanke said: “He was phenomenal. Honestly. He came three days ago and had one or two training sessions with us.
“To look that comfortable out there and confident—I cannot give him enough credit. He looked like a natural out there, like he had been training with us for years, especially at his age as well.
“To come in and have the impact that he did so soon—it is a big credit to him.
“To have him at the club now is great for us. We have a lot of big games coming up and a long way to go in the season. So hopefully we can achieve something special.”
Kinsky, clearly humbled by the admiration, returned the favour, highlighting the quality of his new teammate: “I have to give the credit to him. I have not played with a better striker!”
A star in the making and a sign of Tottenham’s ambition
From a fan’s perspective, Antonin Kinsky’s debut was one of the most impressive individual performances I have seen at Tottenham in recent memory.
Credit must go to the club’s recruitment team, who not only secured a player with immense potential but did so at a bargain price.
Kinsky’s performance suggests that he is far more than a backup option; he is a genuine competitor for Guglielmo Vicario’s starting position.
The calmness and technical ability he displayed were not just a result of natural talent but also indicative of a player who has been well-scouted and developed.
As the season progresses, Kinsky’s contributions could prove pivotal, particularly in a campaign where squad depth will be tested.
If his debut is anything to go by, Spurs supporters can look forward to many more memorable performances from their new goalkeeper.
