Tottenham defender Luka Vuskovic has received glowing praise from Hamburger SV's club doctor after he stepped in to prevent Eintracht Frankfurt's Rasmus Kristensen from swallowing his tongue.
The Dane, formerly of Leeds, was left dazed following a nasty clash with HSV's Miro Muheim. However, quick-thinking Vuskovic, who is still only 18 years old, was swift to react and immediately stepped in to assist Kristensen.
His actions have since been described by the Bundesliga on their website as 'potentially life-saving' and unsurprisingly, the young Croatian has been the subject of huge respect in Germany over the past couple of days.
HSV's team doctor Wolfgang Schillings has now revealed how decisive Vuskovic's actions were, explaining to local newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt: "In this case, Luka reacted immediately and took care of the injured player right away. That's exemplary and takes precedence over everything else.
“If a player briefly loses consciousness, the tongue can obstruct the upper airway. Then the player can't breathe. In this case, you have to act very quickly.
"Ideally, you tilt the head back. So, one hand on the forehead, one hand on the chin, and then carefully tilt the head back so that the tongue practically clears the airway on its own and the patient can breathe again.”
Recall him in January to replace our medical team

I’m an emergency doc and this is one of the most silly things that gets repeated over and over again. You don’t swallow your tongue. None of this is really a thing. Obviously nothing to do with the player it just irritates me. /rant.
Except for like, you know, the experience of actually playing the 6 position.
If you think having Romero dropping into midfield pockets trying to receive the ball on the half turn with attacking midfielders trying to close him down is a good idea then I don't know what to say really.
He would also have no idea about where to position himself when covering multiple different areas of the pitch, compared to playing CB where the game is all in front of you and your major concern is only usually the centre forward. Can you imagine one of his bull charging runs straight at a ball carrier in midfield when all they have to do is play a first time pass to take him out of the game completely? He would not have the discipline to sit.
upgrade on the useless bentancur thats for sure. at least hed play forward passes.
Honestly I’m not convinced Romero would be all that great in the RCB position in a 3 either- he didn’t look good in it last time we tried- he seems a much better fit as CCB.
I can’t see him being much different or better than Palhinha as a 6- think people are just fantasizing in ways to shoehorn him and Vusk into the team.
Mentality Monster.
Fuck me, the hype on this kid is going to make people expect something akin to the Messi of central defenders arriving here.
Personally i would like to dial that hype down a few notches but it might be too late now.

I’m just happy to have something Spurs related to look forward to.
Agreed ridiculous comparing him to Messi , he is however 400 times better than Franz the Kaiser and Bobby Moore put together
Messi is shit compared to Luka.
He’s not mobile enough to play as a 6
