Was Hugo Lloris ready to return to competition, two weeks after this famous penalty shootout lost against Argentina, in the World Cup final?
We can ask ourselves the question as the emblematic goalkeeper of the Blues appeared in difficulty, this Sunday, during the loss of Tottenham in the Premier League against Aston Villa (0-2).
On the first conceded goal, it was totally missed against the long shot from Douglas Luiz.
By pushing the ball hard, in the middle, directly at the feet of Watkins, Hugo Lloris allowed Buendia to open the scoring (0-1, 50th).
Villa scores the first goal of the year!

If he could not do much about the second goal from Douglas Luiz (0-2, 73rd), the former Lyonnais missed his return, which is accompanied by an exit from the Top 4 for the Spurs (5th ).
In addition to his dumpling (his third leading directly to an opposing goal this season in the league according to Opta), the image of his icy handshake with Argentinian goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez (replacing Aston Villa), in the corridor of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, has also filmed on a loop this Sunday afternoon.
And when you tear yourself apart in England, you are rarely spared by the consultants.
This was the case for Hugo Lloris, who suffered a salvo from the Scotsman Graeme Souness.
“I have never been a big fan of Lloris.
There, for me, its expiry date has passed, ”said the ex-Liverpool player and coach on Sky Sports.
And by the way, Happy New Year Hugo!
