Ange Postecoglou is not a clown and deserves the right to answer

Ange Postecoglou is not a clown. It is a man who won trophies in Australia, Japan and Scotland – creating a characteristic football philosophy along the way – and deservedly earned a crack in managing one of the big football clubs in England.

It was, at best, clumsy.

It seems that this morning he narrated that British media think that Tottenham chief was wrong to have his right to answer, to overshadow the main focus of helping his team to win Manchester United tonight in the Europa League final.

However, the claim that Shili Retor at a press conference If somehow detects a detachment of players and coaching staff is absurd.

The Spurs trained in San Mames yesterday in the late afternoon and will enter tonight’s game as underdogs, but with a record that they have not lost to United in any of their last six games.

They will be well prepared by a manager who has seen and done most things in the game, in various parts of the world.

Postecoglou’s cheerful, well -made answers dried

Postecoglou’s behavior in meetings with the media has changed since he arrived in northern London almost two years ago.

His sincere, articulated thoughts were initially welcomed as a break from the usual mild, media of trained answers that gave most of the players and managers of the Premier League.

But it gave way to the art of self -deceased because its tactics were tested on a repeated basis.

It is part of the media job to review the game and its protagonists. Absolutely fair.

However, when it comes to what could be interpreted as a personal insult, the line should be drawn there.

It is a real postecoglou to advocate for himself. Double standards of industry who are happy to criticize and then bend when the recipient responds to the return to the hypocrisy of the rank.

This is another sign of a melodrama that follows football today.

More news, more approaches, more questions and more answers. So many writing columns, so many radio and TV slots for filling. The return pages today, forgotten tomorrow as the circus goes to something else.

The more transparent point about the postecoglou retort was that it was another indicator of his time on the Spurs may be approaching the end.

He presided over the bad season, though one with the injuries of key players.

Not good enough on the field

The Spurs went to the Basque country in 17th place in the Premier League and only raised 38 points and suffered 21 defeats in 37 games.

You can argue that the record is not good enough for the Tottenham resources club, and few would not agree.

And that is why the Australian is likely to leave the club and leave their store elsewhere next season.

Catch it at a quiet moment and probably agreed if it wasn’t good enough.

But, clown? No, my friend.
