Any time in the past was better for Hugo Lloris (Nice, 1986). The still Tottenham goalkeeper achieved in Qatar 2022, less than a year ago, what no goalkeeper has achieved: become the first goalkeeper to win two World Cups -He was proclaimed champion in Russia 2018- as captain. “It’s a golden opportunity to go down in history,” she acknowledged.
Lloris, already retired from the national team, managed to unseat Manuel Neuer (19) as the goalkeeper who has played the most games (20) in the history of the World Cups. However,ended up falling, in the final and on penaltiesagainst Leo Messi’s Argentina: he conceded the four maximum penalties that were thrown at him.

Since then, everything has gotten worse. In the final stretch of the season He made several gross mistakes and missed 12 games due to injury with a Tottenham that signed its worst classification in the Premier since 2008-09 -finished eighth- and was left out of Europe.“I’m not a big fan of Lloris. I have been saying this for a long time: Its expiration date has already passed.”he assured Graeme Sounessformer Liverpool player.

Summer has arrived and for the first since he arrived from Olympique Lyon in 2012 in exchange for 8.5 million euros, saw his status as ‘number 1’ of the ‘Spurs’ threatened. Even Lloris himself, who has a contract until 2024, assumed his departure was done in an interview with ‘Nice Matin’: “It’s the end of an era. I’m looking forward to something else. I’ll study everything possible carefully.” What’s more, the club gave him permission to skip the tour while he looked for a team and He gave Son Heung-min the captain’s armband that Lloris was wearing.

The offers received from Nice, Lazio and Arabia did not convince him and Lloris,key for Tottenham to reach the Champions League final in 2018-19 with Pochettino, He chose to stay in London… even knowing that it didn’t count for Ange Postecoglou.
“I’ve only been here a couple of months, but Hugo’s behavior has been excellent. He has had a great career with Tottenham. He has been our captain for a long time and has left an indelible mark on the club,” said the new Spurs coach when asked about Lloris.

Ange Postecoglou
Despite his words, nothing has changed. Lloris didn’t count… and she doesn’t count. The goal has not yet debuted this season. What’s more, he hasn’t even been summoned. Neither in the Premier nor in the League Cup.
Everything indicates, now, that it will be released in January. Arabia, France and Turkey will once again knock on the door of a world champion… who has been ‘defenestrated’ by the good role of Guglielmo Vicario at Tottenham.
