Ange trusts Kinsky, a rookie driver in the big league

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou says he trusts young goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky to be in the final stages of the cup or even the Premier League more than any other option, despite his lack of experience on the big stage.

Kinsky was sign from Czech Republic’s Gambrinus League side Slavia Prague for £12.5m earlier this month and has immediately put into use after just a few training sessions. 

The overall picture is satisfactory, both in terms แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ of composure when having to build up from the back or make a save, although he still feels a bit shy and doesn’t dare to give orders to the defenders.

The 59-year-old coach said he would not go back to using the two reserves, Fraser Forster and Brandon Austin, and would rather let the 21-year-old rookie driver gain flying hours, which would be more beneficial in the long run. 

“To be honest, I have to say that he is a rookie driver who has gone through three different challenges,” he said at the press conference before the trip to Everton (January 19).

“The important thing is to gain experience. Looking at the games he played and the challenges ahead of him – he handled them well.” 

“I said from day one that he was a young man who could be trust.” 

“From a goalkeeper’s perspective, he has all the qualities we are looking for. He will fit in very well with the team.” 

“I choose to trust the young chicken that teaches me to crow because I believe that in the end we will benefit from it.” 

Kinsky will still have at least two more months to play while waiting for No. 1 Guillermo Vicario to recover from surgery on his broken ankle, which could put him out of action for a long time.
