Aobo: I don t care about Manchester United at all. Today, the players on the court lost a chance to win the finals.
May 12th In the 36th round of the Premier League, Tottenham lost to Crystal Palace 0-2, and its ranking fell to 17th in the Premier League. After the game, Tottenham coach Postkoglu attended the press conference. What is the situation with
Kulousevsky?
Postkoglu: "It should be no problem. I communicated with him after the game. The medical team is not too worried. It is more of a flaw than a serious injury. We hope he can recover in time."
Will the injury affect the players' preparations for the finals?
Postkoglu: "It's hard to say man. I still feel that our performance today is far from the level we should be. Losing players is certainly not good, and this is the delicate balance we need to grasp at the moment. Putting aside this factor, the overall performance is really disappointing." Is there an impact on the eight rotations?
Postkoglu: "It can explain part of the reason, but not all. I always think we should have performed better. So we can't blame the rotation for today's performance entirely, we have the ability to play better."
If Kulusevsky did not retreat from injury, would you replace Solank or Richarlison?
Postkoglu: "No. Last time we had two calf injuries after artificial turf against Tamworth. Players like Brennan, and perhaps Richarlison and Madison should not be used today."
Is there a lack of desire to win?
Postkoglu: "I think it is more of a psychological problem. Under the current situation, players are difficult to adjust their state. In top sports events, a slight deviation will pay the price. We are trying to balance two things: we must prepare for major events and maintain competitiveness in the Premier League - after all, this league is never merciless." Will Odobel play the No. 10 position be a common arrangement in the future?
Postkoglu: "Today it was out of necessity to put him in this position. He played in this position before because I didn't want other players to take risks. But putting aside these factors, the key is performance. Today the players have the opportunity to prove themselves and put pressure on their teammates who played before. But obviously no one showed a convincing state. I have been pushing them to understand: opportunities on the football field are fleeting and never perfect. Although we did eight rotations, we have to seize them when opportunities appear. Few people stood up today, which disappointed me."
Since Richarlison and Solank are not required, why put them on the bench? Can Dane Scarlett appear?
Postkoglu: "Scarlett had just had surgery and he was troubled by groin injuries all year round. We decided to prepare him for the preseason through surgery." What was the reason for the appearance of
Jinsky?
Postkoglu: "Even with Vicario, he is fighting every game. I think now is the right time - after all, the mood fluctuated a few days ago, and all the players, including him, need to adjust their body and mind. Jinsky's training condition is good, and I want to give him another chance. He is not eligible for registration in the European game, so it is more about allowing Vicario to reserve energy for the final decisive battle."
Do the players feel that the final lineup has been locked in eight to nine people?
Postkoglu: "This is the problem, how do you know? It's like Berival suddenly injured before the game. You have to be ready for the game at any time. Maybe they think the roster is set, but this year's lesson tells us that the plan will never catch up with the changes. I don't consider starting the finals now, after all, there's still one game and ten days. If there's a player with this mentality, it's a wrong attitude because they're missing opportunities. Just like when Berival was injured, we had to activate Bisuma, so we have to be ready at all times."
So the message you convey is that players have to seize the opportunity to compete for the finals?
Postkoglu: "They have missed an opportunity today, and opportunities are not often there. This is what they need to grasp."
At least Son Heung-min's playing time is a small positive factor?
Postkoglu: "Yes, it's important to let him accumulate game time. I hope that against Villa on Friday will give him more opportunities. It's a good thing that he can return and participate in the game."
This season is so extreme. I just entered the European final on Thursday and now I'm setting a record of 20 losses in the Premier League?
Postkoglu: "Listen, I understand the doubts from the outside world, but if someone can't see the correlation between these two things, I won't sit here to argue the Pythagorean theorem. The reason is simple: if we didn't fight on multiple lines, our results would be much better. Either understand this reality or keep a close eye on the record, I accept it."
Is it comforting for Manchester United to experience the same dilemma this season?
Postkoglu: "No, I said I don't care about Manchester United at all. They have their own trajectory. The point is our own construction. It's too easy to excuse bad performance with external factors. No matter what difficulties, the team should maintain a basic level. We didn't do it today, which is disappointing."
Does this mean that the lineup is insufficient in addition to the twelve and three main players?
Postkoglu: "No, it's just that we haven't been able to deal with the special situation this year. The injury wave, especially the beginning of the season, is too big. Not only is the return of the wounded, but players like Van Devin, Romero and Udoggi need to be carefully managed. There could have been more young players, but considering that they have played 60 or 61 games, some young players are obviously showing signs of fatigue. The injury problem has cost us the league, and this is a portrayal of the whole season."
