Sometimes these games lead us to a different kind of reflection than a simple victory. Amidst all this, there’s one thing I’m certain of, this team is motivated and strong enough to give a response together!“Finally, I want to say that I will celebrate every moment of success as if it were the first one ! The emotion, and above all the passion, will always make me live this moments intensely as I always have! Thanks for the support COYS. A special dedication yesterday to one of my 💫 dear grandmother on her birthday.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by João Palhinha (@joaopalhinha6)Why Palhinha was justified in celebrating his equaliserThe Premier League is tighter than it has ever been, with all teams boasting of some excellent players, and no result is guaranteed.In this context, every point is crucial, and it was vital for the team’s morale not to lose against Wolves.The equaliser was thus huge in the context of keeping up the momentum, especially at the start of the Frank era. In that context, it is completely understandable that Palhinha celebrated in the way he did.READ MORE: Thomas Frank responds as people question Tottenham midfield decision involving Rodrigo BentancurThe post Joao Palhinha sets record straight about taking his shirt off after Tottenham equaliser appeared first on Spurs Web.
