The central defender of the Belgium national team and Tottenham said they showed their ability to make changes. As they were very keen on the victory after Adama Traore had canceled out Lucas Moura’s 1st goal for the Lilywhites.
The former captain of Dutch club Ajax, Jan Vertonghen said,
Yes, Our Boss has a lot to do on this, he has got a mentality of fighting back on us and we have had a lot of meetings this week about the game.
Strategically, the Wolves have a very good side, they will always have good spells in the game. It was a difficult thing, in the end, you would think ‘Should we be happy with the draw?’ However, this feeling is even better. If someone else had achieved that goal, my feelings would not have been different. If you have seen the celebrations at the end of the game, we have dug deep and coming back with a win that means a lot. We got a lot of games last season when we won in the end, it was the best feeling, we couldn’t leave, the Wolves had tried to a late score too, but we believed in a little bit more. Added by Jan.
Jan Vertonghen believes Tottenham Hotspur’s late win at Wolves proves they have bought into Jose Mourinho’s ways:
