Kulusevski Urges Tottenham to Secure Must-Win Against Fulham
Dejan Kulusevski, Tottenham Hotspur’s 24-year-old midfielder, has made it clear that the upcoming Premier League clash against Fulham on Sunday is a must-win game for the team. This statement comes after their recent 2-2 draw against AS Roma in the Europa League, a result that left the players disappointed.
After suffering back-to-back losses to Galatasaray and Ipswich Town, Tottenham managed to bounce back with an impressive 4-0 victory against Manchester City, the reigning English champions. However, their performance in Europe did not live up to expectations, as they settled for a draw against Claudio Ranieri’s side despite taking the lead twice through Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson.
Kulusevski emphasized the importance of focusing on the upcoming match against Fulham and ensuring that they secure a win to maintain their position in the English top-flight standings. He expressed his disappointment with the draw against Roma and highlighted the need for the team to deliver a strong performance on Sunday.
Tottenham’s Need to Recover from Fatigue
The midfielder also stressed the importance of recovering from fatigue in order to defeat Fulham, who are coming off a 4-1 loss to Wolves in their last match. Tottenham’s inability to convert scoring chances against Roma cost them all three points, and Kulusevski believes that the team must be more clinical in front of goal in future matches.
He acknowledged that the team plays with high energy levels and emphasized the need for proper recovery between games to maintain their performance levels. Kulusevski praised goalkeeper Fraser Forster for his contributions to the team following the injury to Guglielmo Vicario, who will be sidelined for several months due to a fractured ankle.
Postecoglou’s Update on Romero’s Return
In related news, manager Ange Postecoglou has not ruled out the possibility of Cristian Romero returning to action against Fulham. After facing a shortage of players due to injuries in their match against AS Roma, Postecoglou is cautious about rushing Romero back into the team.
Tottenham currently sits in eighth place in the Premier League standings with 19 points from 12 matches, while Fulham is in 12th place, just one point behind. The upcoming clash between the two sides is crucial for Tottenham to secure a much-needed victory and climb up the table.
Kulusevski remains focused on improving his performance and helping Tottenham become the best team in the league. His dedication to the team’s success and his desire to maintain a high level of performance highlight his commitment to achieving success with the club.
