Liverpool striker Cody Gakpo has provided high praise for the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, labeling it as his favorite venue to play in due to the electrifying and hostile atmosphere created by the passionate Spurs fans. 

While the stadium itself has always garnered acclaim for its modern facilities, the ongoing season has witnessed a remarkable shift in the fan dynamics.

In recent times, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has transformed into a formidable fortress, largely attributed to the arrival of manager Ange Postecoglou in the summer. The Australian’s attacking brand of football has not only won over the supporters but also ignited a fervent atmosphere within the 62,850-capacity venue.

Gakpo’s comments highlight the notable change in the atmosphere at the stadium, emphasizing the shift from a potentially toxic environment witnessed in the previous season to the current impassioned and supportive backdrop. 

When asked to name his favorite stadium in England, he told Premier League’s official channel: “The hostile atmosphere at the Tottenham Stadium was great. You know, I like those kinds of environments.”

The striker specifically mentioned the intense atmosphere experienced by him and his Liverpool teammates during their visit to N17 earlier in the season.

The Australian manager’s ability to rally the fans behind the team has transformed the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium into a more intimidating and formidable ground for visiting teams. 

Gakpo’s acknowledgment of the hostile environment at the stadium underlines the impact of fan support on the overall experience for both players and spectators. As Spurs continue to build on their positive momentum, the home ground’s newfound reputation as a fortress reflects the successful efforts to create an electrifying and unwavering atmosphere that adds to the spectacle of English football.
