Igor Tudor says Tottenham are ‘sleeping less on the pitch’ | OneFootball

Tottenham boss Igor Tudor says his side are “sleeping less on the pitch” than they did when he first came in.

Spurs lost their first four games under Tudor but have in the last week drawn 1-1 against Liverpool in the Premier League and beaten Atletico Madrid 3-2 in the Champions League.

Asked what has improved, Tudor said: “I would say the mental sharpness. Mental sharpness. That has improved and got better so that was the key. We are sleeping less on the pitch. That’s the main thing. 

“We react before (something happens), so this thing for me is crucial. Now we react earlier to what happened in the pitch. We are not always like ‘what happened’ and then we react after. Now we react before the things happen. Not in the way how I would like, but much better.

“This mental sharpness, awareness of dangerous situations, this is improving and that’s why we are better.”

Tottenham now have a crucial run of Premier League games. They face Nottingham Forest on Sunday before coming up against Sunderland, Brighton and then Wolves.
