“Postecoglou’s Explosive Outburst: Why He Shouted at Lucas Bergvall Twice in Spurs’ Latest Victory!”
Everyone connected to Tottenham Hotspur must have been thrilled with the victory over Manchester United on Sunday, but Ange Postecoglou still found moments to express frustration with Lucas Bergvall during the match.
### Bergvall Needs to Improve Decision-Making
It’s clear that Lucas Bergvall is a special talent with significant potential since joining Tottenham this summer. He’s been gradually making his mark, and he had more playing time in the win against United.
During his 13-minute appearance, Bergvall appeared confident in midfield, yet he frustrated Postecoglou on two occasions. According to a report from Football.London, the manager’s anger stemmed from poor decision-making when Bergvall had the ball.
The first instance of Postecoglou’s outburst occurred when Bergvall opted to take a long-range shot instead of passing to the unmarked Mikey Moore, who was in a better position. His shot sailed over the bar. Later, although Bergvall did pass to Moore, he overlooked a more advantageous option that would have set up two teammates on the opposite side. Postecoglou shouted at him, clearly indicating where he felt the ball should have been played.
### A Challenging Week for Bergvall
Dealing with Postecoglou’s frustration isn’t the only challenge Bergvall faced this week. He was disappointed last Thursday when his Europa League debut was cut short due to tactical adjustments after Radu Dragusin’s red card in the seventh minute against Qarabag. Bergvall was substituted for Destiny Udogie to maintain the defensive shape, leaving him to watch the remainder of the match from the bench.
### Bergvall’s Potential for Growth
The silver lining is that at such a young age, Bergvall possesses many strengths in his game, allowing him to adapt quickly to the demands of the Premier League and improve under Postecoglou’s guidance. While it’s unfortunate he’s had these challenging moments this week—and faced earlier criticism from Guglielmo Vicario—it’s all part of the learning process. He has the maturity to navigate these experiences and grow from them.
