The Europa League champion is not worthy of entering the Champions League? Aobo: Respect Wenger, but mentioning Tottenham has made him lose his mind
May 8th 3:00, Tottenham Hotspur challenged Bode to shine away in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals! Tottenham won 3-1 in the first leg. Before the game, Tottenham coach Postkoglu attended the press conference.
Who will miss the away game?
Postkoglu: "Madison obviously injured his knee in the first leg. He will miss the rest of the season, which is disappointing for him. I especially regret for him, because he has always been an important catalyst for us. Although he will be absent, dealing with injuries throughout our season and we will overcome difficulties. The other players in the first leg have already gone with the team and are ready."
Have you learned a lesson when you did not train in artificial turf before the game with the Celtics?
Postkoglu: "No, the situation is different when the Celtics. Tonight is more based on experience. We have done this in Frankfurt and are consistent in Europe. I think it is more beneficial to train on the field before the game, and the players are used to this pattern. So it is reasonable to continue this arrangement."
Madison and Berrival are absent, and does Kulusevsky need to step up?
Postkoglu: "Kulu's return is crucial. Although Berrival and Madison are different types of creative players, losing them one after another in a week, Kulu's return is of great significance. He takes time to regain the rhythm due to his long absence, but every game is improving. He has shown signs of recovery against West Ham. No matter what form he is, he will do his best for the team. Tired running and strong engine will be crucial to us."
Holding the advantage of two goals, what kind of mentality do you convey to the players? Should we strive to win or to stabilize the defense?
Postkoglu: "Continue the usual way this season. European games require extreme discipline and organization. Regardless of the score, the boys have always performed well in the second leg of the knockout stage - whether it is the pressure battle that must beat Alkmaar at home or Frankfurt overcame difficult circumstances away, they have all performed perfectly. They will maintain the same mentality tomorrow."
Son Heung-min did not follow the team, how much loss is this? How is Solank's form after he missed Sunday?
Postkoglu: "Sorank has been training for two days in full, no problem. Son Heung-min is regrettable. His recovery is progressing well and may come back on the weekend, but he has not participated in joint training yet, so further observation is needed."
How do you view Wenger's remarks that "the Europa League champion should not win a Champions League seat"?
Postkoglu: "This debate has lasted for many years and has been particularly fierce in the past eight days. To be honest, I have never heard of this before. Tottenham Hotspur can always make people crazy. Any topic involving this club is always trying to belittle them. Last year, the fifth place missed the Champions League, but this year it was able to advance. What is the difference? The rules state that the champion will advance directly, and it is not implemented for the first time. But because it is Tottenham, people are keen on discussions."
Even the former Arsenal coach has joined?
Postkoglu: "I respect the legend of Wenger, but Tottenham does make people lose their minds. This controversy makes me excited, and making others unhappy is the source of my happiness."
Is there only two wins to reverse public opinion?
Postkoglu: "It may not be completely changed, but the narrative of 'long-term no championship' will partially fail. After all, the club has had no important trophy for 15 years (actually 18 years), and has missed the European Championship in 41 years. Building a winner culture requires victory. If you can win the championship, it will greatly boost the confidence of the whole team. But the focus is to play tomorrow's semi-finals well."
Bodd shining player Frederick Shovord said that your high-pressure is terrible. How to respond?
Postkoglu: "No problem. You will know the difference tomorrow."
Do you say that Tottenham makes people crazy, are they affected?
Postkoglu: "It has no effect at all! I am talking about others. When Tottenham may be qualified for the Champions League based on the rules, some people ask for the changes to the rules. This 'Spurs special theory' just confirms my point of view." Does the rescheduling of the league with Villa mean that half of his foot has entered the finals?
Postkoglu: "Oh my God! Next question. I am just the head coach and I don't participate in the schedule."
What is the biggest difficulty in challenging Bode away?
Postkoglu: "The away game of the European game is full of challenges. The opponent is familiar with the venue and climate, and has the cheers of home fans. The particularity of the semi-finals is destined to be a stalemate battle. Whether you are home first and then away, both teams are well aware of the value of the finals' seats and must do their best."
Bod coach said that artificial turf will change the game, how do you deal with it?
Postkoglu: "It's really different. But just like in the game of Frankfurt, whether it's turf, atmosphere or environment, there are always difficulties that need to be overcome in the European away game. We have conducted adaptive training and will be ready tomorrow."
The away victory over Frankfurt relies on less mentioned traits such as organizational strength and resilience. How important are these?
Postkoglu: "It is crucial. The knockout stage requires different traits, and every detail requires a high focus, and the tactical boundaries are clear while maintaining offensive aggressiveness. The boys always show this maturity in the second leg of the knockout stage, especially the ability to accurately execute tactical requirements."
Will allowing young players to make mistakes require them to be more conservative?
Postkoglu: "It is due to human nature, there is no need to deliberately emphasize it. If excessive pressure is applied, it will lead to conservatism. The intensity of the game itself will prompt the players to be cautious. My responsibility is to clarify the key tactical elements."
Son Heung-min and Madison are absent. Do other leaders need to stand up?
Postkoglu: "This has become the norm. This season, the captain's armband has changed hands many times. In addition to Vicario and Romero, Polo, Bentancur, Bisuma and Solank have all assumed leadership responsibilities. This adversity has promoted the growth of players."
How important is resilience to hit the championship?
Postkoglu: "Resilience is a necessary quality for success. Successful people in any field have overcome adversity.. We have experienced hardships this season, but our faith has never wavered. It is this spirit that has brought us to this day. In tomorrow's battle, as long as you continue your experience in dealing with setbacks, you can find the power to win. ”
