The winger tells David Hytner what Spurs are missing this season – a statement win against a big six rival such as Manchester City
Life moves quickly and dramatically in Kulusevski’s professional space, a ripple here leading to an explosion there, which is precisely what the 22-year-old wants to harness against City.
Kulusevski knows what Spurs have missed this season – a statement win in the Premier League against a rival from the so-called big six. Or even the big seven if Eddie Howe’s fast-rising Newcastle are factored in. So far in these games, Tottenham’s record is: P7 D1 L6. Kulusevski also knows what such a result can bring. Around this time last season, on his first start for the club, he was one of the stars in a, scoring one and setting up another. Spurs had located an ignition point. They would win 10 of their remaining 15 league matches to qualify for the Champions League.
Dejan Kulusevski fires a cross into the penalty area against Fulham. But it is in the big games where Spurs ‘have not been good enough’.“In all the big games this season, we haven’t been good enough,” Kulusevski says. “We were close a couple of weeks ago at City [leading 2-0 at half-time before]. These are the best games but we have to start winning them because it shows in the table. And if you do, you also get a lot of momentum, which is what we need.
Kulusevski is close to Doherty and admits he was “shocked when I saw on TV” he had gone to Atlético. “I messaged him straight away and we spoke,” Kulusevski says. “It’s sad that he’s not here with us and with me but I’m still happy for him. It’s a fantastic club that he went to.”
