Spurs star rediscovers passion in new role under Postecoglou, says pundit
Mark Schwarzer is impressed by a Tottenham star’s transformation this season, noting the player appears to be thoroughly enjoying his football right now.
Dejan Kulusevski has become one of the Premier League’s standout players this season, capturing widespread praise for his elevated performances.
The Tottenham Hotspur star has flourished since moving to a more central role under manager Ange Postecoglou, showcasing his skill and adaptability on the field.
The shift has allowed the 24-year-old Swedish international to play to his strengths, consistently delivering high-level performances that have made him one of the league’s top players.
Originally left out of Tottenham’s season opener against Leicester City, Kulusevski has quickly transformed into a mainstay in Postecoglou’s lineup.
His impact on the team is undeniable, and his performances are a key factor in Spurs’ current campaign success.
Former Premier League goalkeeper and football pundit Mark Schwarzer has also taken notice of Kulusevski’s resurgence.
Speaking on The Optus Sport Football Podcast, Schwarzer attributed Kulusevski’s current form to his renewed passion for the game, fostered by his more central position.
Schwarzer noted, “He’s absolutely on fire. He’s talked about wanting to play more centrally since he joined Spurs, and now he’s thriving.”
Schwarzer observed that while Kulusevski has been playing a mix of positions, his natural ability to cut in from the left makes him especially dangerous.
He added that the Swede’s current form makes him one of the league’s most in-form players, predicting that his love for the game will continue fueling his success.
However, with growing praise comes the risk of overconfidence. Kulusevski will need to remain grounded amid the increasing accolades to keep progressing.
Fortunately, he seems like the type of player who values hard work and continual improvement over external validation.
The Swedish international is determined to maximize his potential, focusing on further developing his game and contributing to Tottenham’s rise in the standings.
