Tottenham’s Lucas Bergvall is quickly making a case for being one of the best youngsters in the Premier League.
He played for the club during pre-season and impressed Ange Postecoglou to the point that he’s featured in all three league games so far this season.
Bergvall has shown glimpses of his ability to move the ball forward and beat the opposition press. His reliance on those abilities recently led to an on-pitch verbal volley from Spurs teammate Guglielmo Vicario during the club’s 1-1 draw against Leicester City.
In an interview with Aftonbladet, Bergvall was asked about the incident and didn’t seem too concerned about it.
“Sometimes you do worse things, sometimes you do better things. We had 1-0 and a fairly comfortable lead. We conceded for 1-1 and that’s what happens. All is calm now. We have talked about it. Vicario said that there are hot feelings and things like that that happen.”
The youngster further said: “Everyone makes mistakes,”
Bergvall had given the ball away in a dangerous area in the build-up to a Vicario and that is why the Italian wasn’t too happy with his younger teammate.
Vicario received a little criticism after the match, with some feeling he went too far considering Lucas Bergvall is just 18-years-of-age and finding his feet at Spurs and in English football.
The youngster himself doesn’t appeared bothered by it at all, indeed he doesn’t appear to be fazed by anything.
