Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg: Liverpool defeat embarrassing | Manager changes cause instability | Football News

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg says he felt “embarrassed” by Tottenham’s defeat at Liverpool and thinks upheaval within the dugout has precipitated instability on the membership.

Tottenham let in three objectives within the first quarter-hour at Liverpool, got here again to equalise in stoppage time, then conceded a 94th-minute winner to Diogo Jota because the Reds received a dramatic encounter 4-3 at Anfield.

“It was devastating in how the result went,” Hojbjerg informed Sky Sports News.

“I would even go and say it felt embarrassing. In terms of being down 3-0 and making a fantastic comeback. And then throwing it away last second.

“Normally it is Liverpool who come again of their stadium. And then you definitely really do it in opposition to them. But once more you may blame the primary 20 minutes.

“You make sure the door is closed and you take the game in small bites. Will one goal change the game, yes. And then you get the feeling the next goal will be important. Then you push for a special moment. It’s a tough one to take.”

Tottenham have endured a turbulent interval which has seen them lose head coach Antonio Conte, soccer director Fabio Paratici and performing head coach Cristian Stellini, who was sacked after the harrowing 6-1 thrashing at Newcastle.

Another season has handed with out a main trophy and their decline when it comes to league outcomes means Champions League qualification is realistically out of the query as they face one other summer season of upheaval.

“I think it’s important to understand that, of course, when you have three coaches in a very short time, there is some change, some instability,” Hojbjerg stated.

“We also know that this is part of this world that from one moment to another, there will be instability, there will be insecurity, there will be lack of energy, but there will also be moments when you are on top, momentum with you, things coming a bit more automatically, but it’s important to have this.

“A secure net, that you never fall through and you are never dead, always alive. Down on your knees, but you stay alive. Whenever the time allows it, you can pack up and continue in your way.

“People ask what’s the approach, in fact, when you’re altering coaches, you sort of lose your approach a bit, the values.

“As a player, as a team, the ones that are in the game for a long time and do well for a long time, they have this consistent way of working, consistent way of setting standards, high standards with each other.

“You see the groups which can be dominating roughly the soccer in Europe are groups that over a very long time are doing the best stuff with the best values after which you may say, what’s the proper approach.

“This is again where football is beautiful because there is not just one way, not one way of leading, not one way of performing, not one way of training, thinking, philosophy, but you have to find a way to create some sort of power and some sort of energy going in that way.”
