Kulusevski is the absolute maestro of Posteco-ball at Tottenham
Scorer of Tottenham's second goal in Nottingham, a catalytic presence in midfield, a creator and organizer who makes the difference. Dejan Kulusevski is valuable for Angelos Postecoglou's plans, while he develops the role of... modern winger.

"Koulou", even if he now wears a protective mask until the problem on his face is fully recovered, continues to keep his eyes and thinking clear and agile.
He controlled correctly in the 65th minute from a wrong clearance by the Forest keeper, dribbled in from the right, found himself in a shooting position and 'executed' Turner who again misplaced his hands to make it 2-0.
The Spurs now had a scoreline to safety and left the City Ground with the points, with Dejan Kulusevski among the standouts along with Richarlison and Vicario.
The Swedish winger develops this specific role and does not just stay in the movement along the field or filling in dangerous areas for the opponents' goalposts.
He has shown the most contact with the ball in the opposition area, as well as learning to run and think quickly to create the most scoring opportunities in open-play for Postecoglou's team!
At the same time, he is also unstoppable, since he has covered the most kilometers in the Premier League and not just among his teammates!
Until now, he has scored 5 times and has distributed 2 assists, while, among his most important goals for this year and beyond the one with Forest, is the incredible header in the final for the 3-3 against Manchester City.
“If I had to pick an identity for the game that I like it's exactly what we're playing now. We play to win, not to avoid defeat. This is also my style" he said shortly after the 2-0 win over Forest in his statements, which shows that is at the same page with Postecoglou's way of thinking about football.
