Antonio Conte, the manager of Tottenham, explained the importance of using Rodrigo Bentancur, who Dejan Kulusevski called "one of the most underestimated players in the world."
To maximize Rodrigo Bentancur's influence, Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has been instructed to put him more forward.The Uruguayan star has been outstanding for a struggling Tottenham in recent weeks, and on Saturday, a two-goal flurry against Leeds handed them a comeback victory of 4-3.
He has five goals this season, including additional crucial goals against Bournemouth and Sporting Lisbon. He has also been their best player throughout a stretch of subpar games.
His recent performances have garnered praise from even his teammates.
He was acquired from Juventus together with Dejan Kulusevski, another standout player versus Leeds, for a fee of £17 million, which now appears to be an incredible value.
The box-to-box midfielder clearly pleased the Swedish winger, who was unable to disguise it.
He is a superb athlete and one of the underestimated players in the world. He told the BBC, "I am really happy for him.
And former Premier League player Tony Cascarino thinks Italian manager Conte should pay attention to the Uruguayan's late-game theatrics and push him more upfield more frequently at the beginning of games - not only when they're suffering.
