Tottenham looks uncomfortable even after winning against Southampton in the last league game. There is still a possibility that coach Enze Postecoglou will be replaced due to his poor performance.
In addition, experts pointed out the possibility of division between players. A team that has to unite ahead of an important Europa League match could collapse. The role of captain Son Heung-min is an important moment to reorganize the team and achieve the goal.
Tottenham Hotspur News reported on the 7th (Korea time) 'There are signs that there is a problem with the team's atmosphere' While the replacement of coach Enze Postecoglou is valid, it is pointed out that there may be friction between players after the last match against Southampton.
On the same day, a mysterious scene was caught in the English Premier League (EPL) match between Tottenham and Southampton.
Brennan Johnson, who scored multiple goals on the day, became the main player of the team's victory. The problem occurred just before the end of the game. It was Johnson's chance to score a hat-trick with a penalty. Johnson also strongly expressed his intention to kick a penalty. But the penalty opportunity went to Matisse Tell.
The media expected the decision to offend Johnson. Former Tottenham scout Brian King saw the scene and claimed there was a problem inside the squad.
King said "It's a shame Johnson didn't get a penalty. It's not a frequent opportunity. Still, it's surprising that he didn't give me a chance. "Of course, Tel could have been set to kick the penalty in advance. Still, I would have given it to Johnson. This is because he played well and finished cleanly. I don't know why they didn't give it to me."
King also said, `This could be a sign that something is going wrong between Tottenham players.'

Tottenham were not praised for winning the match.
Southampton, which confirmed the relegation on the day, showed the worst performance. Tottenham did not show an overwhelming performance against the EPL's weakest team. Coach Postecoglou is said to be likely to be replaced even though he won.
King said the Tottenham squad seems to have already given up on the coach.
"I haven't felt much since the game," King said. "Compared to the game we lost to Chelsea, the overall team structure was different again this time. "We need confidence from the players, but I don't know if they have it now."
"They don't seem to want to play for Postecoglou," King said. "There was no sense of urgency, no enthusiasm, no will for the Tottenham players."
In the current situation, the only way for Postecoglou to keep his position is to win the Europa League. Only when Tottenham's march without spectators can be ended can fans' public sentiment turn around.
Tottenham will play Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals on the 11th.
Coach Postecoglou and captain Son Heung-min are expected to show leadership to set up a team atmosphere that could be a bit chaotic. Attention is focusing on whether Tel, Johnson, and even Tottenham as a whole can unite to achieve their goal of winning the Europa League.
