Dragusin-Werner to play against Manchester United
Will Tottenham's new recruits Radu Dragusin and Timo Werner be able to step on the ground side by side in the English Premier League EPL. With both players known to have completed their league registration, attention is focusing on whether or not defender Dragusin will play.
Tottenham will have a showdown with Manchester United in the 21st round of the 2023-24 EPL season at Old Trafford in Manchester, England, on the morning of the 15th. Tottenham is ranked fifth in the league 39 points and Manchester United is ranked ninth 31 points. For Tottenham, their goal is to extend their recent record of winning two consecutive official matches. Manchester United has been showing ups and downs this season, so it is urgent to rebound at home.
In recent matches, Manchester United leads the team with three wins, one draw and one loss. However, in the first showdown of this season held in August last year, Tottenham won 2-0 by combining Papé Sar's first goal and the opponent's own goal. At that time, Son did not score an offensive point, but he displayed robust performance in the fourth inning to create opportunities. However, he is away to participate in the 2023 Asian Football Confederation AFC Asian Cup.
All eyes are on a new transfer. Other than Son Heung-min, Sarr Senegal and Yves Bissouma Malley were absent from the roster for the 2023 CAF Nations Cup. Tottenham faced variable conditions in January and February, when it returned to the league due to its thin roster.
However, Tottenham quickly succeeded in reinforcing the team. In particular, it is notable that the team confirmed recruitment to the strikers and defense. Tottenham's first recruitment was Werner, a striker with EPL experience. Then, it recruited Dragusin as its second recruit. According to local media, both players are known to have registered. In other words, it means that they can play in the upcoming match against Manchester United.
Meanwhile, questions were raised about Dragusin against Postecoglou, who attended an official press conference before the match. "This position should be considered as the top priority in the January transfer market. As we sent Davinson Sanchez Galatasaray in the summer, our goal for January was clear. We did a lot of work to reinforce it," Postecoglou said. "I think Dragusin will fit well with our soccer team. He is young but he has good capabilities, and why Tottenham is in the right stage for him, and I think he will fit well with our group. I think he will fit well with our team."
As for Werner, "I knew that Son Heung-min was leaving for a long time. I felt that we needed a new player up front. Obviously, the central defender was the priority, but we wanted to recruit him quickly. We judged that Werner would be suitable for the team. "The type of player we think he is capable of playing in the front can give quality to the strikers. He was definitely motivated as well."
Finally, as to whether Dragousin will be selected, he declined to say, "I hope the paperwork will be completed, and if so, I will be included in the squad. I think we will have to wait and see because we talk about the selection to the players first."
Fans' eyes are on Dragusin because of the fierce transfer battle between Tottenham and Bayern Munich. Initially, Tottenham started long negotiations with Genoah Italy to recruit Dragusin. Born in 2002, Dragusin is a defensive player who proved his talent by playing as a key player in the Serie A team even at a young age.
Dragusin, a Romanian player, joined the top five European leagues for the first time as a member of the Juventus F.C. team in 2018. After loan at Sampdoria, Salernitana, and Genoa, he was completely transferred to Genoa. To be honest, he was not given many chances. He played for an adult team only four times as a player at Juventus. He had the most opportunities during his loan spell at Genoa. He led his team's promotion with 38 games played for Genoa, which was in Serie B in the 2022-23 season. Fully transferred to the team, he played in 22 official matches through the first half of the season and played as the team's main defender.
His record in the league was outstanding. On the 11th, Sky Sports in England shed light on Dragusin's records before joining Tottenham. "Dragusin started all Serie A games in the 2023-24 season and ranked third in the league in aerial ball competition," the media said. "He is second in the clearings category, and he is a threat in set pieces to the extent that he ranks ninth in header shooting." "He was placed in the back 3 at Genoah, but he can play in all positions. I can see that Dragusin, who played for Genoah, ranked 12th in Serie A, is busy moving deep in the penalty box," he added his heat map.
Tottenham needed to reinforce because of its shallow defense, and selected Dragusin as a new defender. Tottenham's most recent offer to Genoa was 30 million euros about 43.3 billion won and Jed Spence's loan plan.
The variable was Munich's participation in the match. Munich was also one of the teams that had difficulties throughout the first half of the season due to its thin defense. Munich had quality central defenders such as Kim Min-jae, Dayo Upamecano, and Matthijs the Ligt, but had no rotation members at all. Moreover, The Ligt started the season late due to the injury, and Upamecano also left in the middle due to a hamstring problem. There was an ironic situation that only Kim Min-jae played for a long time. It was one of the major changes when looking back on the fact that there were so many defensive resources such as Bang Ja-min Favar Inter Milan, Luka Hernández Paris Saint-Germain, and Daily Blint Girona in the previous season. There were also questions about Munich's move to the transfer market even in the summer, but as the fire fell, Eric Dier Tottenham as well as Erik Dier Tottenham seemed to be belatedly participating in the race to recruit Dragusin and competing with Tottenham.
Surprisingly, Dragusin's choice was London. According to the British media Standard, Dragusin's agent, Florin Manaea, said, "Dragusin decided to go to Tottenham, but he had to stop because of an offer from Munich. We were heading to the airport to go to London. I told Dragusin that we have to judge carefully," adding, "Munich is one of the biggest clubs in the world. I can't believe we rejected Munich. I conveyed to Munich the decision I made after consulting with Dragusin and his family. It was too difficult to change our minds."
With Dragusin joining, Tottenham is expected to take a breather in the management of central defenders in the future. Tottenham faced the season with certain key players, Mickey Van der Pen and Christian Romero. Van der Pen made his first EPL appearance this season, but he showed off good teamwork with Romero as he showed off his outstanding performance. Tottenham, whose defense is stable, also succeeded in becoming a "surprise No. 1" with its remarkable rise of eight wins and two mu in its first 10 games in the league since the opening of the season.

The problem was Van der Pen's injury. Van der Pen left the game for a long time due to a hamstring injury during the 11th round of the league against Chelsea. To make matters worse, Romero left the game due to a series of warnings and dismissals after playing a series of rough games that were pointed out since last season. Tottenham put forward Dyer, Ben Davies, and Emerson Royal as replacements, but the result was a series of come-from-behind defeats. Once ranked first, Tottenham quickly crashed. This is why reinforcing the defense has emerged as a top priority.
Initially, Tottenham's choice was Jean-Claire Todibo OGC Nice. When Van der Pen collapsed in November last year, British media Football London reported that "Tottenham joined the competition to recruit Jean-Claire Todibo. Tottenham is making efforts to recruit a defender ahead of the January transfer window, and Todibo is one of the targets." However, the competition is fierce. According to media, Manchester United and Liverpool are also reportedly considering recruiting Todibo. Media predicted that Todibo's worth is 39 million pounds about 64 billion won.
Todibo was recognized for its performance in Toulouse France and the French U-20 national team, and immediately joined Barcelona Spain. However, he failed to settle down and was loaned to Schalke Germany Benfica Portugal and Nice. His performance was not that bad, and he eventually transferred to Nice ahead of the 2021-22 season.
Todibo has been flying since then in Nice. In the first year of his complete transfer, he played in 40 official games and spent a full-time season for the first time in his career. In the following year, he played in 46 official games, showing off a completely adjusted performance. He has displayed "salt and water defense" again this season. Todibo is actively playing along with Dante at the center.
The key was the transfer fee. Todibo is under contract with Nice until 2027. Last summer, he was rumored to be moving to a big club, but he failed to adjust the transfer fee and pulled out all of them. The situation is not that different in the winter. There are many competitors and the transfer fee is high. The Boot Room quoted CBS Sports in the U.S. as saying that it is virtually impossible for Todibo to go to Tottenham.

However, Dragusin's recruitment has finally come true. Van der Pen is also reportedly set to return. Van der Pen, who sat on the bench during the 2023-24 FA Cup against Burnley on the 6th, is said to be able to play against Manchester United over the weekend. Van der Pen expressed his will in an interview recently released on the club's official website, saying, "I am in good physical condition and feel no pain anymore. A big game against Manchester United is scheduled, and I hope he will play in that game."
In this case, there is a high possibility that Dragusin will be on the ground together, depending on whether he is registered or not. There was news that Romero would also be away due to minor injuries recently, but he recently appealed on social media that there was no problem with his physical condition. Finally, Tottenham has a normal power.
Who will be the starting pitcher? First of all, Romero is known to have participated in recent training sessions. However, Postecoglou declined to say, "It may be too early this week as it has not been long since he returned to the team." As Dragusin has only joined the team for three days, it is practically too early to start. Recently, Tottenham chose Emerson Royale and Davis as its central defender, but the variable is that Davis is out due to injury. There is a possibility that Van The Pen, who just returned from injury, will start against Emerson.
Attention is also focusing on Werner. Werner joined the club on Wednesday on a loan deal for Tottenham's first recruitment this winter. According to the club, he will join Tottenham on a loan deal until the end of this season, and has the option of signing a permanent contract in the summer.
Werner, who had his first training session at Tottenham on the 11th.
Werner is a striker from Chelsea in the EPL. He joined Chelsea ahead of the 2020-21 season and played in the EPL for two seasons. Werner scored 34 goals and 13 assists in 45 official matches while playing for Leipzig in the 2019-20 season. He scored 28 goals in the league and four goals in the UEFA Champions League, leading his team to the quarterfinals. At that time, Werner had one goal and one assist overall in the first and second rounds of the UCL round match against Tottenham Hotspur.
At that time, Chelsea invested 53 million euros 76.3 billion won to recruit Werner. Although Chelsea still boasts of outstanding penetration and speed, it still poses a problem for the team to score goals. However, Chelsea has consistently made the starting list without injury and has made more moves to help its team. At that time, Chelsea beat Manchester City to win the UCL, benefiting significantly from the recruitment of Werner. His official performance in the season since his debut amounted to 12 goals and 15 assists in 52 matches.
The problem was the second season. Werner's lack of scoring ability was even more pronounced. Following the ankle injury, there were also negative factors such as COVID-19 infection. Chelsea finished the season in third place in the league. Werner suffered a slight decline with 11 goals and six assists in 37 games.
Chelsea broke up with Werner while embracing Romelu Lukaku AS Roma. The former Leipzig team reached out to Werner. The transfer fee is 20 million euros. After returning to the former team, Werner showed good performance with 16 goals and six assists in 40 games. However, he lost ground in the following year. According to European soccer statistics media Transfer Markt, his price plummeted from 80 million euros to 17 million euros.
Werner scored only two goals in the official match this season. However, football statistical media Opta predicted on the 9th that Werner's joining is "somewhat understandable." The reason is the diversity of positions mentioned by Coach Postecoglou above.
The media first explained, "Werner maintained a consistent position to threaten the opponent's goal. His movement, activity, and pace created many chances."
Tottenham's expected lineup after joining Werner.
"The reason why we recruited Werner would not have been the goal. Tottenham hired a striker with EPL experience at a relatively low rent that only pays the player's wage. It was natural to recruit Werner given that it was not burdensome," he added. "We hope that Werner's speed and clever movement will blend in smoothly with Tottenham manager Postecoglou's soccer style." With his maximum speed of 22.2 mph when he was playing for Chelsea, he was considered one of the 20 fastest players in the league for two years. At the same time, he was caught on offside by 0.9 minutes per 90 minutes. This is something that Postecoglou needs to improve." However, he added that Werner could be a customized piece for Tottenham this season, which adheres to fast transitions and high forward pressure.
"I'm so happy and excited to be a part of Tottenham," Werner, who joined Tottenham, said in an interview with the club. "I was fascinated by a lot of things. I had a great conversation with Postecoglou. He told me his tactics, style and how to play right away. I thought this club suited me perfectly."
"I hope I can become the best player here. People who have seen me even a little bit in the EPL will know that I have speed and can threaten my opponent," he said, expressing confidence. "I haven't seen all the games since I left the EPL, but Tottenham was always a club I watched with interest."
Finally, some predicted his position. While others expected him to play as a forward striker, Werner said in an interview with the club, "One of my strengths is that I can flexibly play all positions in the front," which is expected to be widely utilized. 스포츠토토
As for the remaining injured players, Postecoglou said, "I think Davis will be out for about a month due to a hamstring injury. Giovanni Lo Celso needs further testing. It is difficult to play against Manchester United." The timing of James Maddison's return has yet to be decided.
