João Palhinha reflects on his struggles at Bayern Munich and how Tottenham Hotspur has helped him rediscover his talent.
João Palhinha, the Portuguese midfielder, has been making waves in the Premier League with his impressive performances for Tottenham Hotspur.
After a tough season at Bayern Munich, where he struggled to find his footing, Palhinha has rediscovered his form in London. In a recent press conference with the Portugal national team, Palhinha opened up about his time at Bayern, admitting that he didn’t get the chances he deserved.
Palhinha’s season at Bayern Munich was marred by injuries, which limited his playing time and made it difficult for him to gain momentum.
“Last season was a difficult season for me,” he said. “I was injured and was out for longer than I’d expected.” After returning from injury, Palhinha found it challenging to break into the Bayern team, which had a significant impact on his confidence and playing time with the national team.
However, Palhinha’s fortunes have taken a turn for the better since joining Tottenham Hotspur. The 28-year-old midfielder has been impressive in his 10 competitive games for the club, scoring three goals and showcasing his skills in the Premier League.
Palhinha credits the confidence and support from the Tottenham management and fans for his resurgence. “At Tottenham, I’ve had chances I didn’t have before,” he said. “I feel complete confidence in the people who wanted me to join the club.”
Palhinha has thrived in the Premier League, a league he’s familiar with. He expressed his happiness with the new challenge and his desire to enjoy the league to the fullest. “I’m very happy with this new challenge and just want to enjoy the Premier League to the fullest,” he added.
Palhinha believes that careers are made up of phases, and he’s currently in a happy one. “Our careers thrive on phases,” he said. “Now, I’m going through a happy phase. A new club, a new project, in a league that’s not new to me and that I’m enjoying again.”
Palhinha’s stats at Tottenham Hotspur are impressive, with three goals in 10 competitive games. He’s been a regular starter for the club, showcasing his skills and abilities in the Premier League.
With his confidence soaring, Palhinha will be looking to continue his impressive form for Tottenham Hotspur, who are reportedly interested in signing him permanently. As the Premier League season progresses, Palhinha will be keen to make a lasting impact and help his team secure a top-four finish.
