"However, while some teammates took the opportunity to recharge in sunnier climates, Simons was reportedly putting in grueling extra hours at Hotspur Way. His focus? Ensuring he is in peak physical and tactical condition for this Sunday's high-stakes North London derby against Premier League leaders Arsenal. Simons' dedication comes at a key moment as interim head coach Igor Tudor takes the reins."
"Unlocking the full potential of Xavi Simons is one of Igor Tudor's most important task. Despite the club's struggles, Simons has been a rare bright spot this season, recently topping Premier League passing statistics for defence-splitting passes in the 2-2 draw against Manchester City. While he has not been able to replicate his form from RB Leipzig as yet, he remains one of the most highly-rated youngsters in Europe."
Xavi Simons chose to forgo the squad's granted five days off and remained training at Hotspur Way, undertaking extra hours to improve fitness and tactical readiness. The decision aimed to prepare him for the forthcoming North London derby against Arsenal. Several teammates travelled to sunnier locations while Simons trained. Interim head coach Igor Tudor, appointed earlier this week, favors high intensity and tactical discipline, creating a timely moment for Simons to demonstrate commitment. Tottenham sit 16th in the Premier League, five points above the relegation zone. Simons led Premier League defence-splitting pass statistics in the 2-2 draw with Manchester City and remains a highly-rated young midfielder.
