What if Igor Tudor stayed on the Spurs bench until the end of the season? The question is still on people’s minds at a time when Tottenham’s new defeat against Crystal Palace last night (3-1) has further darkened the atmosphere in London. Despite Dominic Solanke’s opener, the home side completely collapsed after Micky van de Ven was sent off, leaving Palace to turn the match around with three goals in quick succession just before the break. Plunged into an unnamed void, but also a fight to maintain, just one point from the red zone, the Spurs will have to wake up in the coming days. Furthermore, Croatian coach Igor Tudor (47 years old) firmly believes in it.
Questioned after the meeting, he did not lose his morale: “Unfortunately, this is the time when we pay for everything. A red card changes everything. I’ll tell you now, maybe it will sound strange, but I believe it more after this match than I believed it before. I saw something. I have to pick the right guys because the boat is going in the direction I want to go, and whoever is in the boat can stay. Otherwise, they can leave the boat. It’s very difficult. We must continue to work. We have nine games left to play.” he concluded without leaving any real doubts, despite the poor performances.
