Dejan Kulusevski, after securing a late equalizer against Manchester City at the Etihad, emphasizes the need for Tottenham to glean valuable insights from their performance in a thrilling 3-3 draw.
The Swedish international, who netted in the 90th minute to level the game, expressed pride in Tottenham’s remarkable second-half display. Kulusevski contends that such a high level of performance should be the team’s benchmark throughout the season, even though he acknowledges the difficulty of the encounter.
While pleased with the comeback, Kulusevski laments the late concession of a goal, believing that if the team had sustained their second-half form, they could have clinched victory. He underscores the importance of learning from such situations to enhance the team’s mental resilience, a crucial aspect for achieving success.
Kulusevski’s philosophy on approaching challenges involves thinking minimally and relying on collective effort. He believes that learning and improving mentally will propel Tottenham to the pinnacle of their game.
Captain Heung-Min Son, who both scored and conceded an own goal in the match, echoed Kulusevski’s sentiments. Despite facing a formidable opponent in Manchester City, Son praised the team’s unwavering belief until the final whistle. He acknowledged the brilliance of Brennan Johnson’s work in providing the assist for Kulusevski’s late header, emphasizing the significance of the hard-fought point for the team’s confidence.
