Tottenham’s Lucas Bergvall has made an interesting statement after missing an open goal for Sweden in a World Cup qualifier, and his teammates have come to his support.Despite becoming a key player for Spurs, a 19-year-old midfielder had to wait almost a year between his international appearances.Calls were growing increasingly louder in Sweden for Lucas Bergvall to be handed an opportunity, and that chance finally came on Friday on the international stage for the youngster.The attacking midfielder was handed a start in the World Cup qualifier against Switzerland in Stockholm, but it was an outing to forget as the away side emerged with a 2-0 win.Credit: @myho_0218 / InstagramTottenham youngster Lucas Bergvall reacts after missing an open goalBefore the Swiss scored their two goals, the Spurs teenager had a huge opportunity to put the home side 1-0 up in the first half.After Alexander Isak found him in the box, all Bergvall had to do was tap the ball into an empty net, but he got the ball caught under his feet and lost his bearings, allowing Ricardo Rodriguez to boot it clear.It was a moment that the Spurs man would not want to watch again, and he admitted after the game that he is his own biggest critic.Speaking about his missed chance, Bergvall told Aftonbladet (as relayed by Sport Witness): “I misjudged the ball. Of course, I’m going to score there. I don’t know what else to say. Sometimes it bounces right, sometimes wrong.When asked if it was his worst-ever miss, the midfielder responded: “Yes, probably. I can’t think of anything else right now. It’s an absolute disappointment. I don’t think they (the fans) need to say too much about it, I know I’ll do better.”Bergvall’s international teammates leap to his defenceWhile the Tottenham man may have been the villain on the night for the home crowd, many of his teammates came out and defended him following the game.Liverpool star Alexander Isak said about Bergvall: “He is a very all-round player, who has almost all the qualities you need. He has had a great autumn at Tottenham. We have to help each other to get the most out of each other.Experienced wide-man Ken Sem said: “It’s clear that it’s an opportunity, but he will learn. He is extremely talented, and you can see the heights he has.“Then it’s clear that it’s a bit unlucky that he misses, it’s perhaps one of those chances you usually score on. You’re there to support him, but I think he knows exactly what he needs to improve on in the future.”Finally, Roony Bardghji shared about the Tottenham youngster: “I told him at half-time to forget about it. I can imagine he’s a bit down, and it’s tough, but that’s football. That’s what happens. It’s nothing that will affect him.”READ MORE: Tottenham defender involved in astonishingly rare feat during international fixtureThe post Tottenham’s Lucas Bergvall issues promise after missing open goal for Sweden appeared first on Spurs Web.
