Postekoglu: We achieved a decisive victory despite pressure and exhaustion
The coach of Tottenham Hotspur, Angie Postegoglo, appeared in important press statements after winning against Brentford club 2/0, in the framework of the 24th round of the English Premier League.
"It is difficult to win here, and it is difficult to keep your nets clean in front of a team that plays in this way, it is necessary to defend in the penalty area against fixed balls, seam throws, and cross balls, and this requires a great effort regardless of the tactical method that we play, The players were great in performance, and our second goal was exceptional, we were always a threat to the opponent's goal when we had the ball. "
He added: "I was very happy because the players managed to share this moment with the fans, in the context of the season, this victory was very important, people might underestimate it, but we played matches on Thursday and Sunday without the ability to rotate between the players, and this has a great impact, We are facing teams that benefited from a whole week to prepare, while we played after only 48 hours. "
Commenting on the pressure of the matches, Postegoglo said: "It is difficult for the players to keep their energy when we have a crowded schedule of matches on Thursday and Sunday, they are making their effort, but it is normal for them to be less severe, whether with or without the ball, they are human, and they are not robots And I fully realize this fact. "
He concluded his speech: "A match we could not completely control, Bringford had a full week to prepare, while we had only less than 50 hours to prepare, and in this context, the performance was great by all accounts."
