Failure to advance to the Champions League Tottenham manager Postecoglou

Tottenham manager Anji Postecoglou was angry. The team's loss is painful, but it was aimed at the wrong attitude of some fans.



Tottenham lost 0-2 against Manchester City in the 2023-2024 English Premier League EPL at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on the 15th, giving up two goals to the opponent's main gun, Elling Holan.



Tottenham ended up ranking fifth 63 points without adding more points, missing the Champions League qualification, which is given up to fourth place regardless of the remaining one game. On the other hand, Manchester City 88 overtook Arsenal 86 points, and if they win the last match of the 38th round against Newcastle on the 20th, they will set a new record of losing four consecutive games in the league.



Tottenham faced each other tightly in the first half of the day, but it collapsed when Holan allowed a goal in the sixth minute and extra time of the second half. Son Heung-min created a one-on-one situation with opposing goalkeeper Stefan Ortega after a sharp penetration in the 40th minute of the second half, but he lost his chance to score as a fast-running ball caught Ortega's foot.



Postecoglou expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation inside and outside the team in an interview with foreign media after the match. "In the 48 hours of preparation for this match, I saw that the foundation of the team was weak both inside and outside the team," he said.



For example, some Tottenham fans showed an attitude that it doesn't matter if they lose to Manchester City if they can prevent their London rival Arsenal from winning the title. Foreign media reported that Tottenham fans shouted "Are you watching Arsenal?" when the team conceded the first goal on the day. After losing points, Tottenham fans clearly showed indifferent attitude unlike other games.



"I can't say much about the audience's expression. But this affects the players," Postecoglou expressed regret.


Meanwhile, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola replaced goalkeeper Ederson with Ortega, who was shocked by his eyes when he collided with a Tottenham player in the second half. In the process, Ederson expressed dissatisfaction by kicking the ice box, but Ortega returned the manager's trust with an exciting defense.



On Son's last-minute threatening move, Guardiola said, "Do you know how hard Son has been for us in the last seven or eight years? Do you know how many goals Son has scored for us with Harry Kane? Ortega has made a great save."
