In a parade to celebrate his Europa League title in London, Ange Postecoglou told Tottenham fans: "For any TV show, the third season will be better than the second season." This saying implies that next season he will work better with the players in his third year in the position.
However, Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham TV series was suddenly "cut off". The Australian was sacked on June 6, more than 10 days after helping Spurs quench their 17-year title drought. At the moment, many Tottenham fans are expressing their anger on the team's social networking sites. They thought that Daniel Levy was ungrateful when he fired the coach who had just brought the club's traditional room a big trophy.
However, it is no coincidence that Spurs' board made this decision. They have made careful calculations and believe that "Ange-ball" is not the philosophy that the team will pursue for a long time. Looking back on the journey of the past 2 years, Tottenham had very good times but generally fell into a downward trend in form. Man United have just endured their worst season in Premier League history when they lost to Tottenham in the Europa League final. If Spurs are the team that loses, they will experience the same feeling.
The new Premier League is an accurate measure of the power of Ange Postecoglou and he did not do that. In terms of the title, Ange Postecoglou is more prestigious than Arsenal's Mikel Arteta but looking at the rival with the city, clearly Spurs is much inferior to. Arsenal is now the annual championship team and constantly kicking the Champions League, even last season to the semi -finals. Meanwhile, without the last Europa League championship, Tottenham would not even attend the European Cup next season.
Postecoglou's system administration has some problems, typically turning the squad to avoid injury. Last season in the Premier League, no Spurs player played more than 28 matches. Part of the reason is the preparation of forces for the Europa League, but the biggest reason is the injury storm that makes the squad always in a chipping state. At one point, Spurs could not have any center -back and had to be defender to kick the center -back.
Postecoglou says he always won titles in his second season with the teams he has led, which is true. However, if we look at the previous arenas of this strategist, the quality is only from low to very low. According to the strength index of national championships around the world, places Postecoglou has visited such as Japan (17), Scotland (33) or Australia (60) are not highly appreciated. This means he has not had a chance to test himself in a top environment before reaching the Premier League.
Postecoglou's football style is described as brave with his dedicated play. However, in a top playground like the Premier League, sometimes that courage is innocent, causing the team to pay for their achievements countless times. Daniel Levy will thank Postecoglou for the Europa League title, but if the team continues to decline like that in the Premier League, from position, revenue to fans' views will be seriously reduced.
After the Europa League final, Postecoglou said he felt he had fulfilled his mission at Tottenham and continued to build for a better team in the future. However, what is the construction here when the tactics do not change, the goals in the transfer market are unclear, the performance plan is uncertain?
Many coaches have had good starts, even good endings but have to say goodbye because they are not in line with the team's philosophy. For Postecoglou, he should not be too sad because he has just won a major title. Tottenham will be a stepping stone for him to get better work when the achievement list has won another chapter in the Premier League.
