DEFENSIVE ROCK DAVINSON SANCHEZ

Davinson-Sanchez-Spurs

When Son Heung-min scored the opening goal, Toby Alderweireld was quick to congratulate new Colombian centre-back recruit Davinson Sanchez. Mousa Dembélé Eric Dier and Jan Vertonghen, then followed suit.

Sanchez had intercepted a through ball inside our own area before playing the ball forward and launching our counter-attack. Four minutes, 1-0 up and a part in a goal, not a bad start to your career at a new club in Europe.

Sanchez was, at times, marking deadly Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang one-on-one at times and he wasn't found wanting for pace as well as out muscling him.

The fact that Toby Alderweireld mad the most passes and Jan Vertonghen wasn't far behind him shows why Sanchez has been placed in the middle of them, It frees them to play the ball, leaving him to marshal the defence and take care of any central striker. it allows us to maximise the use of our two ball-playing centre-backs.

  1. I love Jon Vartonghen
    • Was the spelling a deliberate mistake?
    • Ah. I see. The typo's in the title itself. You're a funny man. Can't guess why someone like yourself would have so much free time to waste drawing attention to his own limitations. Don't worry about taking up comedy.
