Serie A: Lookman forces Conte into tactical sacrifices
Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has been forced to make tactical sacrifices in order to accommodate new signing Ademola Lookman.
The Nigerian winger joined Tottenham from RB Leipzig in the summer and has quickly established himself as a key player for the north London club. Lookman's pace and dribbling ability have added a new dimension to Tottenham's attack, but his arrival has also forced Conte to change his tactics.
In the past, Conte has preferred to play with a 3-5-2 formation, but he has now switched to a 3-4-3 system to accommodate Lookman. The change in formation has meant that Tottenham have had to sacrifice some of their defensive solidity, but it has also given them a more attacking threat.
Lookman has been in excellent form for Tottenham this season, scoring three goals in his first five appearances for the club. He has also provided two assists, and his performances have helped Tottenham to win their first three Premier League games of the season.
Lookman's arrival has forced Conte to rethink his tactics
Conte is a renowned tactician, but even he has had to adapt his plans to accommodate Lookman. The Nigerian winger is a unique talent, and Conte has had to find a way to get the best out of him.
The change to a 3-4-3 formation has been a success so far, but it remains to be seen whether Conte will stick with it for the long term. If Lookman continues to perform at a high level, then Conte may be tempted to keep the new formation.
Lookman could be the key to Tottenham's success this season
Tottenham have made a strong start to the season, and Lookman has been a key part of their success. The Nigerian winger has added a new dimension to Tottenham's attack, and he has helped to make them a more dangerous team.
If Lookman can continue to perform at a high level, then Tottenham could be a major force in the Premier League this season. They have a talented squad, and Conte is a world-class manager. With Lookman in the team, Tottenham have the potential to achieve great things this season.
