Guglielmo Vicario sends message to Tottenham fans after bust-up
Guglielmo Vicario had a clear message for Tottenham fans after the side’s 2-2 draw with Bournemouth in the Premier League, following his controversial actions towards the supporters earlier in the week.
Tottenham fought back from a two-goal deficit to secure a point against Bournemouth on 9 March, with Pape Matar Sarr pulling one back and Heung-min Son converting a penalty to level the score.
Despite the comeback, Spurs’ defensive display left much to be desired, with Tottenham supporters voicing their frustrations, particularly with Pedro Porro and his lacklustre performance.
Their goalkeeper was in the headlines as Vicario apologised for riling up the Tottenham fans after the side’s loss to AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League. He was seen raising his arms in front of them, asking for more support during the game, which didn’t sit well with fans.
Now, following the draw against Bournemouth, Vicario has addressed the fans once again and has asked for a favour as the team prepares for the second leg of their upcoming Europa League tie.
| Tottenham’s last four results | Win/Draw/Loss | Competition |
| Tottenham 2-2 Bournemouth | Draw | Premier League |
| AZ Alkmaar 1-0 Tottenham | Loss | Europa League |
| Tottenham 0-1 Man City | Loss | Premier League |
| Ipswich 1-4 Tottenham | Win | Premier League |
Guglielmo Vicario appeals for full support ahead of crucial Europa League tie
Following the 2-2 draw with Bournemouth, Vicario addressed the supporters with a message on Instagram, urging them to stay behind the team. He wrote: “A point at home. Full focus on Thursday. We will need your full support.”
The 28-year-old goalkeeper has been a key figure for Spurs this season. After an injury that kept him sidelined for 21 matches, his return prompted the club to sign another goalkeeper, Antonin Kinsky, in the January transfer window.
Despite his important role, some Tottenham fans have expressed a preference for Kinsky to start, after the January signing impressed in Vicario’s absence.
Ange Postecoglou backs Vicario as sack pressure mounts from Tottenham fanbase
Ange Postecoglou has placed his trust in the Italian goalkeeper, bringing him straight back into the starting XI after his injury layoff, despite calls from supporters for Kinsky to be given a chance.
Vicario has faced criticism for some clumsy errors this season, particularly with set-piece situations where teams have targeted him, but this hasn’t shaken the manager’s faith in him.
However, the pressure is building on Postecoglou, particularly after a poor first-leg performance against AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League.
With the season at risk of finishing without silverware, the stakes are high for both the Australian and his team, and a positive result in the second leg is vital to keep both their hopes and the fans’ confidence alive.
