Rob Vilahamn only talked to VAVEL following Tottenham Hotspur’s 3-0 victory over Bristol City.
Robert Vilahamn told VAVEL that his night was “perfect” following Tottenham Hotspur’s 3-0 victory over Bristol City in the Continental Cup.
They went on to win Group D, and as of right now, they are one point ahead of Southampton in the Women’s Championship. But tomorrow night, the Saints play Arsenal, and both teams have the ability to dethrone Spurs from the top spot.
Spurs won easily throughout, with two goals from Rosa Ayane and a penalty kick from Kit Graham securing the victory. Because of the high press and aggression, it prolonged Vilahamn’s renaissance in N17 and caused the Robins a number of problems.
Due to Vilahamn’s suggestion that Spurs will aim to win every competition they participate in, they have a good chance of making it to the quarterfinals.
“We aim to triumph in every event we take part in. I truly want to do that because I believe that the cup games are quite a big deal in this nation. With this group stage and teams entering from the Champions League collapse, the Conti Cup is very unusual. We should be able to make it to the quarterfinals, but I’m not really sure how we’ll do that. All I want is to win every game we play,” he declared.
In addition, he gave a brief update on Ellie Brazil, who was not present at Brisbane Road.
“It’s kind of both [an injury and a tactical choice]. Before learning more, we must investigate her feeling, which she quickly described to Vilahamn as a niggle while he was having trouble finding the English term. She was unable to play today and perform today,” the manager told VAVEL.
“It’s the ideal fit for us.”
For a Spurs team, there are rarely any stress-free evenings. The North London club is well known for adding unnecessary complexity to situations.
In contrast, things were not the same at Brisbane Road.Graham’s early penalty soothed the nerves of a heavily rotated team that had nine changes, and Ayane’s two cool finishes summed up the laid-back vibe of the game.
Vilahamn, who personified this, told VAVEL that the evening after the game was “perfect.”
“No, it’s really excellent. The players can play out the game and actually save some energy if you play with a certain calm and style, score goals, and create a lot of chances. At that point, you think we’re going to win. For us, it’s the ideal match between two challenging games.”
The Swedish player went on to say that Spurs intended to play through Bristol City’s midfield and take advantage of openings in behind their defense.
“We always had the players who could be used in behind when we couldn’t play through or in between them. The penalty goal, which is the first goal, is a goal from behind. We give them a difficult time to handle it when we do both. The combination of that today, in my opinion, was excellent.
“As a striker, Jessica Naz occasionally offered us something unique; I enjoyed her there. She participates more in build-up play when playing as a winger, but she can now enter the game from behind constantly. Ayane scored her second goal to finish the game as a striker as well. We experimented a lot and now have a variety of options in various games, which is beneficial to us,” he remarked.
“It seems like the starting eleven wants to play more,”
Spurs started their game against Bristol City with nine different players.
Following Spurs’ 1-1 draw with Leicester over the weekend, only Naz and Ria Percival were able to retain their spots.
The squad members were given the chance to support their arguments, and they succeeded in doing so. They were at ease from beginning to end, posing a tactical dilemma for Vilahamn in the upcoming weeks.
Many players today expressed to me their desire to play more. That’s fantastic because that’s how it should be, but those players who were already in the game also expressed to me their desire to play more. Another difficult one is demonstrating our actions from today rather than just whining. That is our preferred method. He told VAVEL, “The entire starting eleven showed me they want to play more.
This weekend, Tottenham will travel to Manchester City, which is expected to be one of their hardest games of the year. While Vilahamn said the team is better equipped to compete against the stronger teams than they were against Chelsea, it is unlikely that he will make any significant changes to his stable starting eleven.
“We didn’t really know how to compete against the best teams when we faced Chelsea in the first game.” We had the opportunity to compete against Chelsea, and with seven weeks having passed, we are now better equipped to compete against the elite teams. It’s going to be difficult, but I have a great deal of respect for Man City and their efforts. “I’m confident we can compete,” Vilahamn said.
