Ange Postecoglou has acquired the support of his Tottenham Hotspur squad since taking over the club 18 months ago.
The Australian’s high-intensity, attacking football has become a feature of his tenure, and his team has shown great promise on the field.
Despite the players’ broad support, some are concerned about the long-term viability of his open, high-pressing approach, particularly following huge defeats like as Tottenham‘s 6-3 loss to Liverpool on Sunday.
Under Postecoglou, the Spurs dressing room is recognized for its togetherness, with players accepting the manager’s approach and less confrontations than in prior regimes under Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho.
Tottenham’s players are starting to question Ange Postecoglou’s system.
According to The Spurs Web, a source within the club has stated that some players are beginning to question whether the system is too open at times.
These concerns have become stronger following the humiliating defeat to Liverpool, with many pundits speculating that Postecoglou‘s tactics may need to be tweaked to succeed in the Premier League.
According to the source, the players believe Postecoglou’s approach is more complex than the general public realizes, but there is constant disagreement over whether the team’s defensive vulnerability should be addressed.
The players admire and appreciate him (Ange). This is not like Conte or Mourinho. There is no conflict, and his style of play is more subtle than the outer world perceives. But other players wonder if it’s too open at times, and if he could change it up occasionally.
Despite these worries, Postecoglou has stayed steady in his approach, refusing to adjust his tactics simply to please external critics or internal suspicions.
Ange Postecoglou is open about his opinion of himself.
According to The Daily Mail, Ange Postecoglou continues to enjoy the complete support of the Tottenham Hotspur squad, with all players behind him.
He has always been clear about his attitude, as seen by a previous interview in which he highlighted the lessons acquired from his time as manager of Australia’s U-20 team in 2007.
Postecoglou reflected on a period when he compromised his approach to protect his position, saying, “It was the single time I thought too much about job preservation. I compromised. I learnt that doing that will never lead to success.
Postecoglou’s resistance to change his methods stems from a firm belief in his football philosophy.
He has sworn never to compromise his methods for the sake of job security or media pressure, adding, “No one will tell me what to do any longer. Nobody’s going to put me in a box. Basically, I don’t care what people think of me anymore.”
