‘I was angry’… Guglielmo Vicario shares why he was furious with Ryan Sessegnon after Tottenham vs Burnley
Guglielmo Vicario has revealed why he was spotted arguing with Ryan Sessegnon after Tottenham Hotspur beat Burnley last Friday.
Tottenham are set for a huge clash against Manchester United at Old Trafford today and head into the game in decent form.
Ange Postecoglou’s men have picked up five wins from their last six games in all competitions, with their latest win coming at home to Burnley. Spurs advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup thanks to a stunning second-half effort from Pedro Porro.
Ryan Sessegnon also made his long-awaited return after missing the past 10 months with a hamstring injury.
The 23-year-old got seven minutes under his belt but received a dressing down from Guglielmo Vicario after the game.
The Italian was spotted right after the full-time whistle and looked visibly furious with something Sessegnon had done.
Now, Vicario has been speaking to and has shared why he was frustrated after the 1-0 win.
Vicario shares why he was ‘angry’ after Tottenham beat Burnley
Vicario admitted he was furious after Spurs presented Burnley with a decent opportunity at the end of the game.
But he also conceded that he shouldn’t have blamed only Sessegnon after Spurs nearly gave away a 1-0 lead.
“Maybe it was not the best thing to do,” the Spurs goalkeeper said. “If you have to say something, the right way is to do it in the dressing room.
“It was just about the structure we had in the set pieces, we were not set well. I was angry because it was the last ball and they had a good chance.
“I can’t put the blame on Sess, of course. It’s just to keep your attention high. So it’s about mentality and just not wanting to concede.”
Many Tottenham fans had seen the after the game and wondered what had caused Vicario’s fury.
They probably won’t be surprised to hear that he was riled up due to his side presenting Burnley with a late chance.
Nevertheless, it’s brilliant to see Vicario showing exceptional leadership qualities already.
The Italian is well within his rights to demand full focus from his defenders, especially when Spurs are attempting to see out a narrow win.
