Igor Tudor won the first point on the Tottenham bench, and that in one of the most difficult away games in the Premier League.
Spurs drew 1:1 with Liverpool at Anfield in the 26th round.
The home team took the lead in the 18th minute with a goal by Dominik Szoboszlai, and when it seemed that Liverpool would win, Richarlison scored in the 90th minute for a big point for the visitors from London.
This is also Tottenham’s first point in the Premier League since February 1, when they drew with Manchester City.
Spurs are now 16th in the table with 30 points, just one point above the relegation zone.
After the game, the coach of the London club, Igor Tudor, spoke to Sky Sports and emphasized how important this result is for his team.
“Yes. This is an amazing, fantastic point to get here, and thoroughly deserved. We showed team spirit. Congratulations to the boys.
It is very difficult to even explain our circumstances. In training, we prepared in one way, and this morning Conor Gallagher told us that he could not play, so we had to change players and positions. The moment is really strange and it’s an even bigger challenge, to show who we are. The players were really amazing.”
Tudor also revealed that during the match he tried to simplify his team’s game so that they could more easily adapt to the situation.
“In attack we tried something different. At the moment it is difficult to work on the attacking structure, so we tried to simplify everything because otherwise it could become even more difficult. The style of football is what it is and I think this is a good start.
The team spirit was incredible. That was the main request. The quality is there. Every point is important, let’s go game by game. Hopefully today was a turning point.”
After the meeting, Tudor was again asked about his future on the bench of the London club, to which he had an interesting answer.
“In every club in the world it is the same as in Tottenham when there are no good results. Changing the coach gives ‘hope’, but the problem remains. The coach has to solve the problem. Journalists like to ask such questions, but it makes no sense. Coaches are forced to answer such questions, otherwise they would rather stay at home. You keep insisting on the same questions.”
