Lucas Bergvall’s rise adds pressure on Yves Bissouma

Lucas Bergvall’s recent form has caught the attention of many, particularly in the pivot midfield role where he now competes directly with Yves Bissouma.

The young Swedish talent has emerged as a reliable option for Ange Postecoglou in recent weeks, offering composure and discipline in a position that demands both.

This surge in form comes at a time when Bissouma’s performances have wavered, presenting a stark contrast to his early-season displays.

The Malian international has shown flashes of brilliance, but costly errors have begun to overshadow his contributions.

A prime example came during Tottenham’s 4-3 defeat to Chelsea, where his reckless challenge in the penalty area handed the Blues a critical opportunity to score.

Even before that, Bissouma struggled against Rangers in the Europa League. His inability to control the midfield allowed the Scottish side to dominate, prompting Postecoglou to replace him with Bergvall.

The Swedish midfielder’s introduction steadied the ship, providing much-needed stability and paving the way for Tottenham to salvage a draw.

This shift in momentum has only intensified the selection headache for Postecoglou ahead of one of Tottenham’s most crucial fixtures this season.

Ange Postecoglou on Lucas Bergvall vs Yves Bissouma

Speaking to football.london, Ange Postecoglou addressed the competition between Lucas Bergvall and Yves Bissouma, emphasising the value of having multiple options in midfield.

The Australian manager praised Bergvall’s recent displays while acknowledging the tactical dilemma it presents.

He said: “It’s good to have an option there. Lucas did fantastically well the other night and he has done in the last two or three games he has played for us as he’s really made an impact, but the other night I thought he was really good.

“In the first half, he really showed maturity playing that role, discipline and real quality as well. It’s good to have that option. Having Biss available is great as well.

“I’ll make a decision tomorrow but at the same time that was Lucas’ first start for quite a while and he did tire noticeably in the second half so we’ll have to see how he’s recovered from the game.”

Why competition benefits Tottenham’s midfield

Competition for places is an asset for any manager, and Ange Postecoglou’s situation is no different. High-performing substitutes push regular starters to maintain their standards, ensuring no player becomes complacent.

With both Lucas Bergvall and Yves Bissouma showcasing distinct qualities, Tottenham find themselves in an enviable position.

For all of Bergvall’s recent impact, Bissouma offers defensive nous, which may be crucial against a Manchester United side known for their physicality.

Nevertheless, the presence of Bergvall as a dependable alternative means Tottenham can adapt mid-match if needed. As the season progresses, such depth could prove invaluable, particularly with the club competing on multiple fronts.
