Gus Foyet (59), who led Jeonbuk Hyundai to the K-League title last season, strongly called for "tactical simplicity" against his former team Tottenham, which fell to the relegation zone.

Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 11th (local time) that Foyet, a former Tottenham star, advised coach Lovretto de Zerby and goalkeeper Antonin Kinski to keep 'simple' in Sunderland's away game.

Tottenham will play Sunderland in the 32nd round of the English Premier League (EPL) from 2025 to 2026 at Stadium of Light in Sunderland, England on the 12th. It is coach De Zerby's debut at Tottenham, which he recently took over.

Currently, Tottenham's concern about "would it be demoted" has become a reality. With 30 points (7 wins, 9 draws and 15 losses), it fell to 18th place, which is in the relegation zone.

Foyet pointed out the tactical defeat of his former coach Igor Tudor. "Over the past six months, Pedro Porro and Xavi Simmons have been confused by moving around in various positions," he said. "We can persuade the players only by placing them in the optimal position and simplifying their tactics."

The key is whether goalkeeper Antonin Kinski will recover his honor. Kinski suffered two fatal mistakes in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) against Atletico Madrid last month, humiliating him to be replaced in 17 minutes.

"With the main goalkeeper Vicario injured, Kinski should return," Foyet said. "In dangerous situations, we should restore confidence with simple plays that clear the ball more firmly than unreasonable passes."

Warned the overwhelming atmosphere at Sunderland's home stadium, Stadium of Light. "If you struggle for 10-15 minutes in the first half, you will be in big trouble under the pressure of Thunderland and the heat of the fans," he said, adding, "The key to escaping the relegation zone is to control the early part of the game and calm the atmosphere."

Meanwhile, Foyet, who led Jeonbuk Hyundai to the championship cup in his K-League debut season last year, is also deeply connected with Tottenham. He moved to Tottenham from Chelsea in 2001 and played for three years. He was also the head coach under coach Juan de Ramos in 2008, when he last won the trophy before winning the UEFA Europa League (UEL) last season.
