Ange postecoglou, who stands on the grass inside a small Norwegian stadium north of the Arctic circle this month, is the director of the English football club Tottenham, to his wife in the crowd. Those around him, the players and fans who made the trip joined Bandar’s celebration in the history of the 142 -year -old club: a pavement in the championship championship in a European championship.
Tottenham poverty stadium in northern London, competing with the modern training facility and competing with the base of international fans of its largest competitors in the richest league in sport, Premier League. The issue of the cup, however, no. The club has not won a big cup since 2008 or a major European championship since 1984. It has caused its history to approach, but it failed to win during both the local season and European championships that play parallel, and led to a “mysterious” description.
This dehydration can end soon. Thus, the postcoglou, the manager, can be the manager who got it there.
Because when Tottenham won in Norway to advance to the European League final on Wednesday against Manchester United in Bilbao, Spain, he put the club in a strange situation that he was about to have a long time to dream of finishing a terrible season, and he would have forgotten.
This contradictory contradiction between the Tottenham season in the Premier League with the European League final – which guarantees the victory in the Champions League next season, attributed the club’s role in Europe, and whether millions in revenue come with qualification – will determine the scheduling of the job.
“Winning the club’s first cup in 17 years, the first of which is the European in 41 years, will be hell from achievement and will turn it from the worst statistically manager to one of the most successful,” Blade goldTottenham has long beat a football correspondent. Lundon, for NBC News via email.
However, a victory or loss on Wednesday, Gold believes, “It seems that the separation of roads is inevitable.”
In the Premier League 20 teams, where the three lower teams are deported in a homogeneous manner to a lower section in the English football hierarchy, Spears sits seventeenth with one match remaining. (Their opponent, Manchester United, is the sixteenth and overwhelms its strange season.)
The injuries have eliminated many of the best Tottenham players. Access to the semi -finals of the English Championship led to more attrition for a short team already on the fresh legs. And until now Marcus BacklandTV presenter hosts popularity Podcast About the clubThe “most disastrous” local performance said since it started following the club in the late 1970s.
“There is an element of disbelief in terms of the bad Tottenham,” Bakndand wrote.
Gold said: “Getting 21 defeats in the Premier League is embarrassing and cannot be fully placed in the injury crisis during the three medium months of the campaign,” Gold said. “On Wednesday night, you will bring one game for many people to decide whether the pain deserves all this effort.”
Buckland will be – with a warning. The methods that have helped postecoglou and Tottenham should not be confused through the European League, to a large extent against competition with fewer resources, with the basis that the club should continue to build on.
“It is all about silver utensils for supporters, so if they win in the European League, everything else (in the short term) will be tolerated and the 2024-25 season will be successful, especially since Arsenal has failed to win the cup and Manchester United will be left in Boldroms.” “This does not mean that the manager must keep his job.”
When Tottenham rented Postecoglou in 2023, there was a blatant difference from its predecessors, which included celebrity managers Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, whose huge characters and Tottenham championship records hope. Instead, each of them burned any good faith within two years.
On the contrary, postecoglou Australia, vitality and loved among his players, was making his way in the prominent league championships.
He immediately faced doubts that his playing style, which won his team at the level of some cup during his second seasons that trained in Australia, Japan and Scotland, would work against the rich Premier League opponents. It is called “AngeBall”, and the system presses strongly to register, even at the expense of the weak defense. Last season, the first Tottenham ranked fifth in the league.
In this season, despite many injuries, postecoglou continued to play according to the ideals, without modifying the system at the expense of the employees, and raising the rift lines between the manager and the club’s fans who opened last season for the first time. At some point, fans can be heard this season while chanting from the stands, “You don’t know what to do.” When, in April, postecoglou diluted his ear towards fans after Tottenham’s goal, he was considered a response; He later tried to wave this interpretation, saying that he wanted to hear the fans celebrating yet a “goal of cracking.”
Gold and Buckland said that although recognized the damage of the terrible team on a large scale, the posteglou collapse in communicating with the fans has contributed to the dissatisfaction of this season. However, given the club’s history, “I think it should” qualify as a successful season if Tottenham won the European League title, as Gold wrote.
He wrote: “It will be a great moment for the fans and the club, but whether it becomes more than one moment, and something that changes the narration around the club depends on what Spears does then and whether they invest and improve.”
NBC sports analyst Ruby Mustto, a former English Premier League midfielder, said that when Tottenham and Manchester United line up on Wednesday, it should be possible, for two hours, the brutal results in the months before. Playing for the tournament is rare, and you should enjoy.
However, Mustoe admitted that “I cannot separate it from a terrible season for the Premier League and a style of playing risky at best, especially if you don’t get the best defenders there.”
“Can you imagine a success, victory, or celebration of the stadium with the fans there, the cup elevator, and a manager who really loves players, jumps up and down, and Tottenham Hotspur stadium on Sunday to celebrate the open bus via the city or the northern London region, then they launch the manager?” Musto said.
“When they finally got a man who raises them on the line, they will get rid of him and say:” I don’t care, this is not good enough. “I think this will be cruel.”
The question is the amount of Daniel Levy’s value, a senior executive in Tottenham, who rarely speaks with the media, from the cup. On May 8, the festive scene in Norway reminded gold of the most happy days in the post -postcoglu period. He also said, “Something we did not always have this season through some difficult times.”
“I don’t think my job has ended here. There was some growth that I would like to see,” postecoglou said on Tuesday.
