“Tottenham Star SLAMMED: ‘Premier League is too much for him’ After Struggling Performances
Tottenham Hotspur has been grappling with an injury crisis, particularly in defense, as their starting centre-backs, Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, have spent considerable time on the sidelines. This has forced backup defender Radu Dragusin to step up in their absence.
Following Spurs’ recent loss to Chelsea at White Hart Lane, manager Ange Postecoglou is facing multiple challenges. Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Brennan Johnson all had to leave the field due to injuries, adding to the growing list of players currently sidelined, including Wilson Odobert, Richarlison, Ben Davies, Mikey Moore, and Guglielmo Vicario.
As Tottenham’s injury problems continue, doubts have been raised about Dragusin’s ability to cope at the Premier League level. The Romanian defender, who has been waiting for opportunities, is now getting them, but former midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker criticized Dragusin’s performance. Speaking on the Premier League Review, Reo-Coker, now a CBS pundit, suggested that the 22-year-old may have underestimated the demands of top-flight English football, especially after turning down Bayern Munich to join Spurs.
Reo-Coker remarked, “Injuries are part of football, yes, but you have to question if Romero and van de Ven were fully fit to start. Once Dragusin came in, it became clear that maybe the Premier League is a bit too much for him.”
Postecoglou’s system, which relies on aggressive pressing and fast transitions, places heavy demands on defenders, making the absences of Romero and van de Ven even more challenging. For Dragusin, this is a crucial opportunity to prove himself and rise to the occasion if he wants to secure his place in the squad.
