Tottenham Hotspur manager Anji Postecoglou, who missed the victory in the opening match of the English Premier League (EPL), expressed regret for the strikers who failed to take advantage of the opportunity.
Tottenham drew 1-1 in an away match against Leicester City in the first round of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season at King Power Stadium in Leicester, England on the 20th (Korea time).
Tottenham led with Pedro Porr’s header in the 29th minute of the first half, but they had to settle for the draw in the 12th minute of the second half by giving up a header equalizer to Leicester’s Jamie Vardy.
Tottenham overwhelmed Leicester with 70.7% possession, 15 shots and seven effective shots.
However, he failed to win as he lost to Leicester, which was half of the total, with seven shots (3 effective shots).
In particular, the main reason is that they failed to score additional points even though they had several chances to score in the first half.

“This is a problem that has continued since last season. We need to be more ruthless in front of the goal. It’s good to have the initiative, but it’s meaningless if we don’t score a goal,” he said.
Tottenham, which missed the victory in the opening match, is aiming for its first win of the season against Everton on the 24th.
