Tottenham forward Mathys Tel has joined the chorus of criticism regarding the style of play practiced by some teams in the Premier League, particularly Arsenal, deeming it 'boring' and detrimental to the spectacle. 'It's boring to watch. There's less excitement, no Vinícius making a cross, no Mbappé taking off with the ball… It's much more structured, perhaps too much. Especially on set pieces,' reflected the Spurs forward. 'I told the set-piece coach: 'don't put me on marking,' because it's chaos! We're all together, everyone pushes, throws themselves to the ground, grabs… Forget it. The goalkeeper can no longer get out. These are small details that seem useless, but they can be useful because they can allow you to win a game.' Despite the criticism of the style of play, Arsenal fans have responded by highlighting their team's excellent campaign, in contrast to Tottenham's struggles, which saw them thrashed by Atlético Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 and fighting for survival in the Premier League.
