Anger Flares: Postecoglou Goes Off on Reporter Over Second-Season Claim
Ange Postecoglou was left fuming during a press conference on Tuesday after being asked about a comment he made following Tottenham’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal. The Spurs boss had claimed that he "always wins" trophies in his second season, a statement that sparked controversy and criticism from the media.
When a reporter questioned Postecoglou about the comment, the 59-year-old Australian exploded in anger, insisting that he was simply stating a fact. "It’s amazing – I just stated a fact – should I lie? I am not sure how am I supposed to answer something that’s true and it seems like I upset some people for some reason," he exclaimed.
Postecoglou also added that his comment wasn’t meant to be boastful, but rather a reflection of his track record in his second season with different clubs. "It is true and my plan is for it to happen this year and if it doesn’t happen then I will say it is mostly – but not always," he said.
The former Celtic boss has a history of success in his second season, having led his teams to trophies and success. His statement sparked a heated debate, with some questioning his claims while others defended him, arguing that he has a legitimate track record of achieving great things in his second year at the helm.
Postecoglou’s side has struggled to get going this season, winning just one of their opening four games. They will be looking to bounce back against Brentford on Saturday. The pressure is mounting on the Australian to deliver, and his comments only add fuel to the fire.
