Radu Drăgușin (23 years old) was an integralist in Tottenham – Manchester City 2-2match from the 24th stage of the English championship.
There was consensus among the Island publications in the analysis of Radu's performance: partly to blame for both opponents' goals, but much better in the second half, in which he often had Erling Haaland as a direct opponent.
How the English marked Radu Drăgușin, for the performance in Tottenham – Manchester City
Football London gave the Romanian a grade 6:
“His first start in a year. It certainly looked that way in the first half, where he waited too long for Cherki to score and then passed straight to Rodri for City's second goal. But he became much better as the minutes ticked by and at times defended superbly against Haaland in the second half“.
Only Cristian Romero and Yves Bissouma had lower qualifications (5), and Randal Kolo Muani and Guglielmo Vicario also received 6.
All 6 and from the Spurs Web portal:
“First half disaster for the Romanian, who was equally to blame for both of City's goals, lacking aggression against Cherki and making a poor clearance on the 2nd goal. However, in the second half he had a more solid performance, keeping Haaland quiet.”
Those at The Evening Standard were not as generous, 5:
“After 12 months on the touchline he is trying to find his rhythm. He closed Cherki late on on the edge of the box at 0-1, couldn't keep up with Haaland and from his misplaced and intercepted pass City doubled their lead before the break. Was better in the second half.”
It was the lowest grade in the home camp.
