Pape Matar Sar has been given the crucial task of filling the void left by Rodrigo Bentancur.
Tottenham Hotspur suffered major problems in midfield due to Eve Bisuma surgery and Bentancur cruciate ligament rupture. Particularly painful was the departure of Bentancur. Bentancur, who was recruited through the winter transfer market last season, showed good chemistry with Pierre-Emile Hoivier and led Tottenham’s rebound. Together with his motive, Dejan Kulusevski, he was called Tottenham’s fortune. This season, he received more praise for his midfield dominance and scoring ability.
Then, in the match against Leicester City, they collided strongly in the process of pressing Naplas Mendy. He looked serious enough to sit on the ground and complain of pain. Ryojin stepped out of the ground on his own without support, but as a result of a close examination, he suffered a terrible injury called an anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Of course, it was out of season.
Tottenham, who have to run midfield for the rest of the season without Bentancur, are pinning their hopes on Sar. Sar is a Senegalese midfielder born in 2002 who made an impression at FC Metz. He was recruited in 2021, but he immediately went on loan to the Mets and started playing in earnest from this season. Although he is young, he has a lot of experience and can play a variety of roles in midfield, which has attracted attention. 메이저사이트
Sarr, who played 12 matches with the Senegal A national team, also boarded the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar to gain experience. He didn’t get many opportunities at Tottenham. He was pushed back by Bentankur, Hoi Bier and Bisuma. When a key player was injured, he got a chance, and he raised expectations with his excellent performance. When Bentancur was completely eliminated, he was pointed out as a replacement. He showed competitiveness in the first leg of the round of 16 of the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) against AC Milan.
On the 18th (Korean time), soccer statistics media ‘Whoscored.com’ said, “Saar seized an opportunity due to consecutive injuries to Bisuma and Bentancur. He ranked 2nd in Tottenham’s ratings against AC Milan, which was his UCL debut match. Rade Crunich was a good tackle. He praised Sarda, who proved his potential while he could start as a starter in the future.” He added, “It’s not at the same level as Bentancur, but the skills Sar showed against AC Milan were able to reassure Tottenham fans a little.”
The selection of Sarr against the upcoming West Ham looks promising. England’s ‘Evening Standard’ predicted the starting lineup and said, “Hoibier, who was suspended for the match against AC Milan, will return, and one of the impressive Sar and Oliver Skips will be missing,” but put Sar as Hoivier’s pair. If he shows his skills against West Ham, Sarda will be one step ahead of Skip.
