It’s been eight years since Hugo Lloris first entered Spurs Lodge, our former center in Chigwell, Essex. Earlier this week, he returned to our world-class headquarters on Hotspur Way for his ninth pre-season as a Spurs player and sixth as captain.
“It’s a privilege to come to this school every day,” he said. “I run after a trophy, but ambition is top and it’s an exciting era in the pre-season to be worried about a team with a wonderful ambition, and we’ll do everything we can with Jose and his staff to get closer and closer to.” winning a trophy.”
Now, 33, Hugo’s numbers begin to accumulate. With 325 appearances in all competitions, he is already among the 30 most sensible of all time in the club, while his 260 Premier League appearances place him among the five most sensible in this competition, surpassing Darren Anderton’s 299 record.
He has seven games of our all-time record European games, 64 Steve Perryman’s and six to overtake Ray Clemence and score in the 3 most sensitive of our all-time goalkeeper appearances, legends Ted Ditchburn (452) and Pat Jennings (590).
However, it is the cutlery that drives our number one. “Look, I’m fair to you, the way to give credit to those numbers is to win anything with this club,” he said. “I look forward to this more than ever.”

After the COVID-19 global pandemic and last season’s disruption, the 2019/20 ended on July 26, the pre-season is shorter than ever this time, with the Premier League’s first weekend just 3 weeks away. This week’s announcement of this week’s 2020/21 matches has paired us at Home at Everton this opening weekend on September 12 (subject to change) and Hugo is well aware of the need for a smart start.
“It’s an opportunity to wear last season, to start a new season with a whole new brain and body,” he said. “Of course, it’s not much preseason time, but we have to adapt. It is the same situation for all the groups involved in the Premier League.
“We have to make sure we get off to a smart start. In recent seasons, problems lost in the first games, and all count in the end.
“It’s smart to be home, but Everton is a tough and very competitive rival. They have everything, the players, the quality of the team and a coach, one of the most productive in history. It’ll be an attractive start and we’ll be ready.
The atmosphere is positive with players determined to keep shape from the post-block finish of 2019/20: nine matches, five wins, 3 draws and only one loss secured a sixth position and European football.
Hugo added: “As I said at the end of last season, this was helping players who didn’t know the coach’s needs. Now we sense all those demands. Before, we didn’t have time. There’s been a transition with the way we play before and what the new football demands from the coach. Now it’s all clear, and he adds his winning mindset to this team and the leaders will also have to step up. It’s about winning now… “
Soon – Hugo in Joe Hart …
