Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou is delighted to see his team adopt a calm and brave football philosophy, starting from the goal and pushing the line to the halfway line again after a long absence that has caused poor results.
Spurs beat AZ Alkmaar 3-1 in the second leg of their Europa League last-16 tie on Thursday to book a place in the quarter-finals with a 3-2 aggregate win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
The result was ทางเข้า UFABET สำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ สมัครวันนี้ รับโบนัสฟรี satisfactory, but what the 59-year-old coach was more pleased with was the way the game went, which he had hoped for, partly because his main players were gradually recovering.
“It looks like the team is back to playing the way we want it to. I’m looking at two important things,” he told Spurs Play ahead of their game against Fulham (March 16).
“The first thing is that we have 2-3 active players back, which allows us to rotate the team and keep it fresh.”
“I think we saw that evidence last night because the pressing is much better because players like Son Heung-min, James Maddison didn’t have to play 90 minutes last weekend, players came back from injury to help out.”
“I think Dominic Solanke has a big role to play when we play pressing because of the way he operates as a No.9. We don’t have any other players who can do that.”
“We also have players who are good on the ball, who control the ball and then find a way to attack the opponent’s final third. It’s great that Wilson Odober has come back.”
“These help us play the football we want and hopefully we can do it more consistently from now on.”
