Ange Postecoglou delivered a fiery response in his post-match press conference after Tottenham Hotspur secured their place in the Europa League final with a 2-0 victory over Bodø/Glimt. The Spurs manager, known for his direct approach, dismissed comparisons to Manchester United and took aim at critics who have questioned his team’s progress.
Postecoglou was visibly frustrated when asked whether winning the Europa League would salvage Tottenham’s season, a question that had been posed about United earlier. He rejected the notion that Spurs’ league struggles should diminish their achievement, insisting that reaching a European final is a significant milestone.
The Australian coach also addressed the skepticism surrounding Tottenham’s chances of lifting the trophy, stating that some people fear the possibility of Spurs actually winning silverware. He emphasized that his squad has earned their place in the final and should not be judged based on their domestic form.
With the final against Manchester United set to take place in Bilbao, Postecoglou remains focused on preparing his team for the challenge ahead. His passionate defense of Spurs’ campaign has only added to the anticipation surrounding the showdown, as the club looks to end their long wait for a major trophy.
