Turns out there’s a reason for that — he’s likely been carrying an injury for months and been playing through the pain.
According to an article in Football. London and citing Vicario’s Instagram, assistant coach Fabian Otte replied to a Vicario post after his hernia surgery and implied that he’s been dealing with this for a while now. “So much respect for what you went through for months to be there for the team every game.
” Months? MONTHS? Well, that certainly explains a few things.
That statistical drop was dramatic, and fanalysts had already picked up on it. It was suggested that Vic’s performance drop was due to him being on a bad team that faces more shots than before, or that he was just having a bad season, or maybe was reverting to the mean after overperforming since joining Spurs. But this suggests something different, and depending on how you view things, infuriating.
