Leaders’ coach says Australian has revived side’s identityArne Slot has lavished praise on Ange Postecoglou and said he hopes the Tottenham manager is rewarded with a trophy this season for delivering a style of play that is “a privilege” to watch.
Liverpool visit Spurs in the Premier League on Sunday and the teams will meet again in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup after the latter secured their place with a. Tottenham’s high-risk strategy attracted more criticism from pundits after the game, prompting Slot to issue a staunch defence of a rival manager for restoring his club’s identity.
“I’m completely a fan of his team for the Europa League because people always talk about trophies and that it’s so important. For his brand of football and his style, it is so much more important and if he can combine that with winning something that would be so good for football in general because people can stop talking about it’s too attacking or whatever.
Slot believes Spurs were unfortunate not to beat United by a bigger margin in their quarter-final and questioned how Postecoglou can be considered under pressure at a club that is not synonymous with silverware. “I don’t think there are many season-ticket holders in the country that can say they watch so many great games. Maybe the ones at Liverpool!” said Slot.
“I think it is a privilege to be a season ticket holder at Tottenham at the moment because they play such a great style and it’s not like since Ange arrived they don’t win anything any more. Before that they were not a club that won many things, but they always won the sympathy of the fans in Europe, maybe also in England as well, I don’t know, because of the style of play they had. That is something you cannot underestimate.
