Tottenham don't deserve to go to the Champions League

Tottenham Hotspur won only one game in six consecutive games, the most important of the season.

Tottenham fans screamed when the schedule for the match against Chelsea and Manchester City, which had been postponed, was confirmed. With Aston Villa competing with the UEFA Champions League (UCL), they will meet with Arsenal and North London derby, Chelsea and London derby, Liverpool home stadium Anfield, Burnley who was competing to stay at the time, and Manchester City.

It was truly a series of six consecutive games of hell. If Tottenham did not win half of these six consecutive games, it was unlikely that it would be ranked fourth. Prior to the start of the six-game series, they held Nottingham Forest 3-1 and continued their three-game unbeaten streak. The start was important, but they lost 0-4 in an away match at Newcastle. Last season's nightmare was recreated. As it collapsed in vain, they began their sixth consecutive game with defeat.

The result was a 2-3 defeat in Arsenal and Derby, but a complete defeat in detail. In the match against Chelsea, they lost 0-2. Destiny Udoji and Ben Davies were hurt in succession, puncturing their left defense, and Hishalisson and Timo Werner were also missing, leading to their attack falling apart. They also lost the match against Liverpool 2-4 when they lacked options to make changes.

They won 2-1 against Burnley. Unlike at the start of the six-game series, Burnley was on the verge of relegation due to a series of crushing defeats, so the motivation was not very great. Jakub Brun Larsen scored the first goal, but Pedro Porro and Mickey van der Pen scored consecutive points to post a 2-1 come-from-behind victory. There were expectations for Tottenham, which ended its losing streak ahead of the match against Manchester City.

It also had no loss in home matches against Manchester City in the recent four games. Son Heung-min, dubbed the "killer of Manchester City," was also highly confident. The result was a 0-2 defeat. Manager Enze Postecoglou brought in an anomaly strategy, but it ultimately collapsed. The result of the six consecutive games was one win, five losses, six points and 15 losses, and the ticket to the UCL was handed to Villa. Even if they win the remaining matches against Sheffield United, Tottenham cannot advance to fourth place.

At the beginning of the season, Postecoglou was very positive and the UCL ticket was considered like a prize winner. However, he collapsed and showed weakness in the middle, and the result was a failure to advance to the UCL. Tottenham also had chronic problems in the 2023-24 season, as they failed to win in important matches in the second half. 안전놀이터 추천
