The 2020 had closed badly: it had little activity, product of own errors in very important parties, and was already in the last place of the row, of fourth between the central defenders of Tottenham.
But 2021 looks very different, with a more confident Dávinson Sánchez, poised on the court and practical when it comes to hand-to-hand. That was the image he left in his last outing, that of qualifying for the Carabao Cup final against Brentford (2-0 win).
The Colombian started and his performance was more than acceptable. Even the coach José Mourinho recognized it, when analyzing a play in which he could commit a penalty but avoided it in time.
“Defensively it was a good game, we were always in control (…) They had an arrival on the right where Davinson Sánchez was smart not to touch the player; and the player was clean for not throwing himself like other players do,” said Mourinho in an interview with Sky Sports.
The Cauca is going for a rematch in this season finale, although he must row hard if he wants to regain ground in the Premier League, where he has only played 5 of the 16 games of the season. Matches such as the Carabao Cup give him that confidence, which he will have to revalidate if he wants to continue in Tottenham, although his name has previously sounded in Milan and even in PSG.
