James Madison (27, Tottenham Hotspur) expressed regret with a reflective attitude.
Tottenham Hotspur lost 0-4 to Newcastle United in the 33rd round of the Premier League (PL) for the 2023-24 season at St. James' Park in Newcastle upon Tyne, England on the 13th (Korea time). With this, Tottenham ranked fifth with 18 wins, six draws and eight losses (60 points), tying Aston Villa for fourth place with a point, but trailing behind in goal difference.
The defense fell apart. In the 30th minute, Anthony Gordon passed after winning his duel with Destiny Udoga. Alexander Isak then scored with a shot past Mickey Van der Pen in the penalty box. Then, in the 32nd minute, Pedro Porro's pass towards the defense connected to Gordon. Gordon calmly dribbled in front of Van der Pen and then made a long post shot into the net.
In the 6th minute of the second half, Son Heung-min lost the ball and Bruno Guimaraes kicked it forward long. Isaac took over and scored with a shot towards the bottom right in a 1-1 situation. Finally, Fabian Shea made it 4-0 with a high-point header in the 42nd minute of the second half with a corner kick.
The worst performer was Tottenham, and vice-captain Madison apologized. Madison said on Spurs Play, "We are just as disappointed as the fans. We had no choice but to raise our hands and apologize to the away fans today. At the end of the game, many fans applauded despite their performance. Usually, we would clap in these situations. "It's hard to expect, but they did," he said.
"I'm grateful to the fans for being with me, but I'm sorry to the fans who had to watch the scoreboard like that. We didn't do enough and we have to accept it and reflect in the mirror at the same time. It wasn't a coincidence, but Newcastle were lucky to score. I didn't do anything," he added.
"We weren't good enough today, we weren't man enough. We have to be strong with ourselves and get our act together. It can be sad if we want to, but we have to get our act together quickly. The Premier League is fast approaching. And the next game is a big one, so we have to look at what went wrong and start again."
Tottenham's next match is the North London derby against Arsenal. If you lose by chance, the atmosphere will be very bad, which will greatly affect your future schedule.
