Tottenham star hires three personal coaches and two analysts to raise his game
One Tottenham Hotspur star is taking some big steps in an effort to fulfil his potential as he looks to bounce back from his recent minor setback.
It is hard to read too much into Tudor’s team selections and his tactical calls in his first few games as Spurs boss, given that the newcomer has been severely handicapped by injuries.
In fact, Tudor himself has said that the style of play and system is not a priority for Spurs right now, with the club’s only goal being to pick up points and secure their Premier League status.
One Spurs star who had been in fine form before the Croat’s arrival suddenly finds himself playing a reduced role, but that has not deterred his commitment to work even harder to make his mark.
Alasdair Gold reveals big steps Xavi Simons has taken at Tottenham
Xavi has been a marginal figure under Tudor and has not been used centrally when he has been handed opportunities.
Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has now shed light on how the former RB Leipzig man’s mindset and his desire to succeed as he looks to prove his worth to his new boss.
He reveals that those close to Xavi have shared that it was drilled into the attacking midfielder to be ambitious and never accept failure through his upbringing at Barcelona and PSG.
Gold shares that the 22-year-old has hired his own data analyst, video analyst, strength and conditioning coach, personal trainer, and even a mindset coach, as he is desperate to keep him improving.
The journalist adds that Xavi has been spotted training at Hotspur Way on his days off and has worked hard to improve himself physically for the Premier League challenge.
Xavi needs to stand up for Spurs in final run-in
Given the players that Tottenham are currently missing, they are severely depleted in terms of creative quality in the final third.
Xavi is one of the only fit players who can create magic on the ball and fashion opportunities out of nothing.
Spurs may need three more wins to secure their Premier League status, and it is hard to see the Lilywhites getting those points unless the 22-year-old has a strong end to the campaign.
