da bet7k： Mousa Dembele has become accustomed to being second fiddle to others in a deep and talented Spurs squad.
da bet sport： At White Hart Lane, the Belgian has taken a back seat while players such as Gareth Bale, Christian Eriksen, Emmanuel Adebayor and now Harry Kane, and even Deli Alli, have taken headlines.
Dembele allows himself to be played in any position, whether it an attack minded or defensive one, yet still perform admirably. This season in 22 games he already has three goals, which is great considering that he is no longer the main man in that midfield.
Throughout his Tottenham career, the ex-Fuham ace has been in the background and created opportunities for other players to take the glory, and has helped to provide some of Spurs’ most exciting play.
Although he doesn’t regularly start for Belgium, he is one of the country’s current squad players. When he was out injured, Spurs struggled to win, highlighted through their 1-0 loss to bitter rivals West Ham. But, when he played against Arsenal, he provided the experience and level headedness that the team needed.
With youngsters like Alli and Eric Dier still growing, both as players and as people, Dembele offers composure, something the side desperately need considering they are fighting for trophies on two fronts – in the Premier League and Europa League.
He isn’t the biggest star in the team, but he certainly is a fans’ favourite. He may not have won any trophies, but he has consistently given his all for the team. Many are probably thankful that Spurs did not sign Fulham’s Moussa Dembele, due to the fact that their is only room for one in their team!
When you look at the Belgium side, Dembele is certainly playing alongside some talented players. Players such as Marouane Fellaini, Dries Mertens, Youri Tielemens, Axel Witsel and more provide competition for places in the team, yet even though he may not be appreciated for his country, he certainly is for his club.
Even from his Fulham days, Dembele looked destined for bigger and better things, and his move to Tottenham certainly looked to be just the step he needed. Whether he is being defensive as a player or being attacking minded, he has quality. With Mauricio Pochettino bringing through fresh, young talent at White Hart Lane, they need a level-headed leader to help them through.
Although Hugo Lloris is the official captain at Tottenham, Spurs still need leaders within the XI. Dembele does this alongside Jan Vertonghen and Eriksen, helping the young generation become the team of the future. Players like Kane, Alli and Dier need that unofficial leader, and Dembele is that man.
At the age of 28 he is, arguably, in his prime, and his experience will help those players, especially if Europa League progress continues. If he stays based in London, he can help push Tottenham to the big stage, and further his club legend status.
