Tottenham midfielder is staying focused.
Tanguy Ndombele is a man under pressure after being called out by Tottenham head coach Jose Mourinho at the weekend.
Mourinho made clear he expected more from the club’s record signing, who has also underwhelmed fans in recent weeks.
There was even a debate on Sky’s Monday Night Football over the Frenchman’s ability and attitude last night.
Ndombele meanwhile is giving the impression he is ignoring it all and is remaining focused.
He sent a message out on Instagram last night, suggesting his sole focus is this week’s game against RB Leipzig, and he is trying to stay happy.
The Champions League tie this week may suit Ndombele. Some of his best performances for Lyon last season came in the competition.
If he is hurting from Mourinho’s comments, he isn’t showing it.
If he gives a good response on the pitch in upcoming matches, Mourinho will claim his words have had an impact. Perhaps at this stage, he had to try something.
