The London Standard Banner reported that Tottenham dropped out of the top four after a 2-1 defeat at home to Wolves and were only three points ahead of the Red Devils after Manchester United beat Luton Town. Faced with the team's embarrassment in the last three months, Postecoglou defended that I am not a magician, but there is no need for Tottenham to be sad now.
Since losing 4-1 to Chelsea, Tottenham have stumbled apart from a 4-1 win over Newcastle to dominate the game. In the last four games, Tottenham have almost always been targeted by opponents in terms of tactics. Postecoglou's insistence on the full-back's tactics of collecting midfielders has been cracked by his Premier League peers, and his own weakness of slow on-the-spot adjustment has also been infinitely magnified. In the defeat to Wolves, Postecoglou did not value set-piece ideas and was also punished twice, which ultimately led to the defeat.
After the game, Postecoglou defended: "I'm not a magician, I'm just a football coach. These guys have been working hard all year long, and we've gotten to that point on the basis of some hard work, which is pretty good, and that's what we're going to continue to do. ”
We've had a lot of injuries this season, but when we had injuries, we were better than we are now, so I don't think that's the reason for the loss. Tottenham, for their part, needed to start the game and put their opponents at a disadvantage as soon as they started. In the last two or three games, we haven't really done that. Before, we did that and it gave us a foothold in the game, which we don't have now. Postecoglou analyzed.
On what it takes to get Tottenham back into the top four, Postecoglou replied: 'There's no trick, it's hard work. We're going to work hard, we've got two weeks to prepare for the next game, there's no need to feel sorry for ourselves. No matter what happened in the past, you take the blow and move on. Enjoy the New Year
