What Johnny Cardoso Brings To The Pitch<\/span><\/h3>\n

Cardoso started his career at the Brazilian club Internacional before moving to Real Betis for a \u00a35 million fee at the start of 2024. He is a workhorse midfielder who plays a defensive role in the Verdiblancos system.<\/span><\/p>\n

The US international started 14 games in La Liga last season and impressed with his ability to win the ball. Cardoso averaged 1.94 tackles a game, placing him in the upper echelon of Europe\u2019s elite midfielders in that statistic. The defensive midfielder also intercepted the ball 2.21 times per game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cardoso is a raw talent, his area of growth is with his passing. He ranks on the mid to lower end of all passing statistics compared to other midfielders in Europe’s top 5 leagues. If he is to fit into The Spurs system he will need to improve to match the style of play Ange Postecoglou intends to play.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cardoso is another signing that shows The Spurs plans to build for the future. The North London club previously signed Swedish midfielder Lucas Bergvall. The 18-year-old midfielder joined the club for a \u00a38.5 million fee.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
