Guglielmo Vicario did something ‘weird’ to Lucas Bergvall after Tottenham defeat
The Athletic’s James Maw has revealed that Guglielmo Vicario was involved in a rather unsavoury moment with a Tottenham teammate after Wolves scored their fourth goal at the Molineux Stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur only had themselves to blame for emerging empty-handed from the West Midlands as they gave away soft goal after soft goal.
Guglielmo Vicario has come under plenty of criticism for his mistakes, particularly for his part in the home side’s second, where he parried the ball straight onto Djed Spence for the home side’s second.
He was not the only guilty party, with Cristian Romero and Lucas Bergvall both having lapses in concentration in the second-half, which killed any chance Tottenham had of coming back into the game.
Guglielmo Vicario grabbed Tottenham teammate by his face
It was Bergvall’s poor play that sealed the result on Sunday, with Matheus Cunha pinching the ball from the Swede in a dangerous area before curling an effort past Vicario.
James Maw has now revealed that the Tottenham number one was not too pleased with the young midfielder and grabbed him by his face, claiming that it made the 19-year-old uncomfortable.
Speaking on The View From The Lane podcast, Maw said: “I mean the irony of all of that is, one of the kind of senior players certainly in terms of like voice in the dressing room from what we hear, and also from kind of what we saw at the end of the game with him grabbing Bergvall by the face.
“I don’t know if you saw that Is Vicario, who, I mean, is clowning around more than anyone. I found that really weird that. I mean, we’ve said on here before, we’re not body language experts and we shouldn’t overanalyse these things. Fine. And we shouldn’t look to overanalyse these things.
“But if you grab someone by the face, and they’re really like, kind of quite, like firmly, and they’re clearly uncomfortable and kind of trying to shuffle you off. It’s like, just let them go. I mean, don’t do the thing in the first place, would be my advice in general life. It’s just really, really odd.”
Ange Postecoglou makes a clear statement about Vicario
Unsurprisingly, the Tottenham goalkeeper’s performance was one of the topics of the post-match press conference, but the Spurs boss gave his full backing to the Italian.
Postecoglou insisted that he retains 100 per cent confidence in Vicario, writing off his errors against Wolves as an aberration.
However, Spurs certainly cannot afford for the former Empoli man to gift goals away at Deutsche Bank Park on Thursday if they are to have a shot at progressing to the semifinals of the Europa League.
