Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has given his verdict on Rodrigo Bentancur.
Postecoglou has shared what makes Bentancur a special and very important player for Spurs.
So, what has Ange Postecoglou said about Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur? Let’s take a look.
Ange Postecoglou praises Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur
Well, Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou has been speaking about Rodrigo Bentancur.
Postecoglou has been hugely impressed with Bentancur and has noted that the midfielder is very demanding and sets high standards.
The 26-year-old Uruguay international midfielder is fit and available now after a spell on the sidelines.
Bentancur has made six starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for Spurs so far this season.
The midfielder has scored one goal in those games. He has also played twice in the FA Cup for the North London club this campaign.

Postecoglou told Football.London when asked if he has had to manage Bentancur’s expectations on his injury return: “No, I haven’t had to and I wouldn’t. It would be like someone trying to manage my expectations and I just don’t think that is my role. He sets very high standards and it is not just the absence.
“When he came back, I thought in the Villa game he was outstanding and then he gets a knock within 15 or 20 minutes and is out again. It’s been disruptive even with the absence he’s had, but I’ve been really happy with Rodri.
“Again, I guess people look at it through the prism of players should be playing all the time and influential all the time, but we’re trying to build a squad here.
“I’ve got no doubt that whatever Rodri does this year, and he’s already contributed, he’s creating a great foundation for us for next year. With the midfield set-up we’ve got at the moment, players we’ve got in there, it will be really exciting to see how they grow.”
My View: Rodrigo Bentancur will play his role in Tottenham’s top-four quest
In my opinion, Rodrigo Bentancur will play a big role for Tottenham Hotspur in the coming weeks and months.
Spurs are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table and could even challenge for the title.
While Bentancur is just coming back from injury, I believe that Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou will make the most use of the £1
5.8 million (Sky Sports) player.
