Ange Postecoglou was in a less-than-patient temper forward of Tottenham’s Europa League conflict with Frankfurt on Thursday.
Spurs’ dismal marketing campaign took a slight upturn with a 3-1 win over Southampton on Sunday and at the moment are gearing up for the most important sport of their season.
Nonetheless, the Australian head coach appeared fed up with the identical foolish questions being requested throughout his press convention forward of the quarter-final first leg, together with one about Spurs’ last-second penalty towards the Saints.
Brennan Johnson appeared eager to take the spot kick after already netting a brace within the sport, however he had his second taken away from him by Mathys Tel, who made no mistake and bagged his first Premier League purpose since transferring on mortgage from Bayern Munich.
When requested in regards to the incident, Postecoglou stated: “We scored, we received. Delighted. It’s unbelievable, it’s simply… actually turning gold into crap when it’s Tottenham. Critically. If we’re 2-1 up tomorrow evening and get a penalty within the final minute, I would like one of the best penalty taker to take it. I imply the one slight towards this membership is seemingly it hasn’t been a winner.
“Properly the winner’s mentality within the final minute of the sport is to attain a purpose. We scored a purpose. And but someway on this final universe the place every part Tottenham does is unsuitable, that’s come out as a adverse.”

As soon as once more, Postecoglou was then requested about his future as head coach of Tottenham, to which he sighed earlier than giving his response.
He added: “I got here to this membership with a transparent goal and imaginative and prescient of what the membership wanted and what I may supply. That’s to vary the way in which the staff performs, to clearly rejuvenate the squad as a result of it was a squad that was coming in direction of the tip of a cycle and to deliver success.
“So long as I’m on this place, that’s all the time my focus no matter no matter noise there’s or what there could or not been sooner or later. I don’t see that, that ought to diminish my burning ambition, my need and my willpower to make that occur.
“Something you obtain in life normally comes with a battle. Definitely every part I’ve achieved in my life has include a battle from knowledgeable perspective. That is simply one other battle, however by no means by means of this battle have I misplaced the need to struggle for what I believe is the appropriate factor to do and I’ll proceed to try this.”
Studies counsel that ought to Postecoglou win the Europa League, he could also be afforded extra time in his present place. Something much less, nevertheless, would possible see him lose his job.
He continued: “We’re in that place that the great things we could do goes to be became a glass half full rhetoric and from that perspective I don’t assume that may be a driver in what we wish to do.
“The lads are actually eager to deliver success to the membership, maintain driving the rules of what we began this complete journey with, when it comes to the soccer we wish to play, actually stick collectively as they’ve by means of the hardest of intervals and hopefully we’ve labored our means right into a place the place we are able to make an impression on our season, a extremely disappointing season for us.
“I simply assume there’s an actual willpower to take the chance that they’ve earned at this level.”
