Ange Postecoglou has stressed that he does not want his Tottenham players to repeat Arsenal’s disruptive set-piece strategy from the north London derby
Guglielmo Vicario and Tottenham were put under pressure at set pieces by Arsenal, particularly the interventions of Ben White .Guglielmo Vicario and Tottenham were put under pressure at set pieces by Arsenal, particularly the interventions of Ben White .Ange Postecoglou says he would not want his Tottenham players to engage in the game’s darker arts on set pieces as Ben White did for Arsenal in.
Arsenal did not capitalise further, although Postecoglou’s intervention appeared to be too little, too late. Arsenal ran out 3-2 winners. The Spurs manager has his principles and he indicated they did not include White-style blocking on set pieces.The former Tottenham and Wales winger Terry Medwin has died at the age of 91. Medwin won 30 caps and was part of Spurs' 1960-61 Double-winning side and victorious 1962 FA Cup team.
He played at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden when Wales reached the quarter-finals before losing to the eventual winners, Brazil. Medwin's winner in the 2-1 victory over Hungary was Wales' last goal at a World Cup until 2022. “If you want to go down that avenue … what’s he supposed to do? Throw a punch and knock him out? Or say: ‘Please don’t touch me?’ What does that do? Seriously, we’re not in the schoolyard. To be honest, if I saw one of my players do it, I’d be saying: ‘Mate, seriously? Get the ball and play some football.’”
