Wilson Odobert Makes Impressive Spurs Debut
Many were surprised when Ange Postecoglou included Wilson Odobert in the starting lineup against Everton, but the winger quickly proved the Australian manager’s decision right with an impressive performance.
The 19-year-old consistently challenged the Everton defense, demonstrating his skill, balance, and agility, and captivating the home fans with every touch. Odobert’s aggressive approach and eagerness to take on defenders added a new dimension to Tottenham’s attack.
Heung-min Son, who scored twice in the 4-0 victory, praised Odobert’s performance. Speaking to the club’s official channel, Son said, “He was very, very impressive. Although he has only trained with us a few times, his quality is evident. He understood our playing style well, and it was great to see him make an impact on the left side.”
However, Son cautioned against overhyping the teenager, emphasizing the need for humility and hard work. “It’s just his first game, so let’s not celebrate too much,” Son advised. “Young players must stay grounded and continue to improve. We shouldn’t let them get carried away after one game. Football is a long season, and I hope he maintains his form and sharpness.”
