Looking more like his old self after such a disappointing first season at the club, Bissouma was asked about his own performance but rather than waxing lyrical about what he did on the pitch, he simply said the game for him was "not a success" despite his award as the team didn't win.
"Everything is about the team, the way we work," he said when speaking in a post-match interview on SPURSPLAY. "Today I just want to say thank you to the coach and my teammates as we worked really hard for that. It's not just me, but everyone played really good.
"The first important thing for me is not to be man of the match or first, I just want my team to win. That's my mind. I don't just play for myself, I play for my team, for Tottenham Hotspur, for my teammates, for everyone.
"If I'm man of the match and we didn't win, the game for me is not a success. I prefer not to be man of the match but win the game and happy because we got three points and we can look forward to the next game.
"I can say I'm OK but not really happy because we didn't win, so we'll see next game. But thank you for this appreciation and I'm going to try to work really hard and me and my teammates to be stronger the next game."

This guy continues to raise the bar in our midfield... Yes I know Maddison is getting rave reviews too but this lads impact at breaking up play, holding the ball recycling it and breaking the lines with darting runs while looking like it's just something every player can do is incredible...
He is Mouse'esq in the way he retains the ball and hangs it out enough for opposition players to think they have a chance, then manages to suck them in, roll them step away from them or between two players at pace, pushing us up the pitch...
He is properly good and why that Italian boner didn't use him fuck only knows...!
I'd want every kid at Spurs watching him and trying to imitate how he rolls players, beaks away, retains posession and recycles the ball...

I didn't realise but apparently his suspension will end just as he's leaving for the African Cup of Nations so the earliest he could be available to play is the 31st of January.
If Mali make it all the way to the final which is in mid-February, he'll miss eight games in total.

If.... We appeal the suspension and make the suspension slip back to when he is away at the AFCON... Could we get a few more games out of him?
Be a dick move from the club, and would no doubt cause uproar and call into question our morals...
But it's been done before.

Tottenham Hotspur's Yves Bissouma was teargassed in a violent hold-up outside his hotel in the French city of Cannes, a police source told AFP on Monday.
The 27-year-old Ivorian-born Mali midfielder had a watch worth 300,000 euros ($325,000) stolen in the robbery.
Bissouma was returning to his luxury hotel located on the Croisette at around 0400 (0200 GMT) on Sunday morning with his partner.
They stopped their car in front of their hotel when two hooded men ran towards them.
Bissouma tried to take refuge inside but was attacked with tear gas by the two individuals who took his watch before running away.
Contacted by AFP, his lawyer Bastien Caire did not wish to make any comment on the ongoing police investigation.

Yves Bissouma faces Spurs investigation after apology for nitrous oxide use
The Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma has apologised after he was recorded inhaling nitrous oxide, but could potentially face punishment for his actions.
Bissouma reportedly uploaded clips of himself using the class C drug, widely known as laughing gas, on to social media site Snapchat last weekend. The Mali international Bissouma has since acknowledged his “severe lack of judgement”, but faces an internal club investigation and an anxious wait to discover if further punishment could be on his way.

“I want to apologise for these videos. This was a severe lack of judgment,” Bissouma said in a statement. “I understand how serious this is and the health risks involved, and I also take my responsibility as a footballer and role model very seriously.”
A Tottenham spokesman added: “We are looking into the events. This will be dealt with as an internal matter.”
Nitrous oxide was made a class C drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act last November, as part of the government’s anti-social behaviour action plan. Possession of nitrous oxide, where a person intends to wrongfully inhale it for a psychoactive effect, is now an offence but it is still possible to use the gas for legitimate reasons, such as in catering or pain relief during labour.
Bissouma joined Tottenham in 2022 and has made 56 appearances for the club, including 26 starts under current boss Ange Postecoglou during the 2023-24 campaign.

Silly cunt.
I'm sorry but there is absolutely no excuse in the world that he can give that'd make me think it's ok or excuse his actions.
I hope Ange sells the cunt.
Yeah people are going to pipe up "but they're not fucking robots", he's just letting his hair down etc.
If I bought or hired a robot at a significantly lower cost, it wouldn't do drugs.
These cunts are paid crazy money to be professionals, role models and ambassadors to the club.
What does this do to his insurance if he is found to be partaking in illegal drugs...?
He has exposed the club, himself, his teammates and the fans to ridicule.
Fucking twat.

He has a way of shooting himself in the foot every time it looks like he might really get his shit together.
Even if you're willing to overlook him doing nitrous, and I'm not saying you should, what kind of stupid prick then shares footage with his millions of followers?

Stupid boy, but lets not forget if it wasn't for being blessed with a god given talent the majority of footballers would be involved in crap like this every week. Maybe he needs to look at who he chooses to associate himself with. I'm not condemning what Joe Bloggs does for recreation coz I once lived in a glasshouse, but Bissouma is a stupid boy not to realise he has a "status" and to embrace his gift and act accordingly. For me AP should give him a stern talking to, drop him for a few games and make it clear there will be no more chances given if he again brings the club into disrepute. I'd only do this because on his day Bissouma is the closest thing to Mousa Dembele we have had in a longtime.
