Paul Merson admits ‘outstanding’ Tottenham player has proven him wrong
Paul Merson has expressed his admiration for Pedro Porro’s ability to own up to his mistakes regarding the Spaniard.
After initially joining Spurs on loan from Sporting Lisbon in January of last year, Porro’s move became permanent in the summer.
It took him a few games to adjust, but ever since, he has been outstanding for the Spurs.
And he has disproved the opinions of many skeptics, such as Tim Sherwood and Paul Merson.
Merson acknowledged that he had misjudged Porro’s potential.
In an interview with Sportsskeeda, Merson discussed the Spanish full-back, saying:
“Pedro Porro has been excellent too, even though I thought he would struggle in the Premier League.”
Porro has had a significant impact, particularly in the future.
His offensive skills, which include calculating runs and a desire to advance, have given Tottenham’s play a new depth.
He has also worked to strengthen his defensive abilities, which has made him a more dependable presence at the back.
Porro has strengthened Tottenham’s defense by playing with players like Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Destiny Udogie.
In the Premier League, the team has only let up 8 goals; only Manchester City has let up less.
With two points over City and Arsenal, Spurs are presently leading the table. If they defeat Palace tonight, they could momentarily increase their lead to five points.
‘The chairman’: Cristian Romero said about Daniel Levy at Tottenham that will get you wondering and saying wow.
Cristian Romero is undoubtedly enjoying his time at Tottenham with head coach Ange Postecoglou at the moment.
The World Cup-winning defender has been a pillar of the squad and has played a major role in Spurs’ incredible season-opening start.
Romero has been a huge success since being signed as a free agent by Antonio Conte. Victor Osimhen claimed that this week alone has been his hardest against anyone.
Romero also stated in an interview with Sky Sports that Daniel Levy is driving some of the changes that the entire team is going through at the moment.
Romero makes Daniel Levy claim about Tottenham
Romero talked about winning something for Spurs and complimented his manager Ange Postecoglou in an interview with Sky Sports.
Additionally, he discussed the top-down adjustments with Levy during the interview.
“This is how I see it. It goes without saying that the squad’s 26–30 players and the coaching staff are not the only factors in winning. It is not solely dependent upon this. Romero stated that “building an institution that looks to win things like this depends on a lot of aspects that are around.”
“Because it would be quite significant to accomplish something, since many players will have played here in the future. If you don’t, I won’t like it if you were just another player who represented the team.
“I always think Ange would be a great coach for the team because of it. The squad is strong, the chairman is making significant changes, and we’re working toward it. There are still many games in the Premier League, which is really tough. Talking about winning something right now would be immature. We treat every game as a final and approach it accordingly.
Spurs have one of the best around
Raising eyebrows was undoubtedly evident when Tottenham spent more than £50 million to get Romero.
However, he suddenly appears to be a great value and is among the top defenders in the Premier League right now.
Romero’s competitive spirit and tenacity appear to inspire the other players on this Spurs team. However, he is now supporting it with performances as well, and he no longer appears to be as much of a burden as he was under Conte.
The remarks regarding Levy are also fascinating. It’s obvious that Spurs are going through a significant culture change, and Levy seems to have made the right choice in hiring his most recent manager.
