Ange Postecoglou on the Future of Football: Exclusive Interview
Tottenham Hotspur’s Football Manager, Ange Postecoglou, has taken the Premier League by storm with his innovative "Ange-Ball" strategy. In a recent interview, he dived deep into the details of how this approach can be replicated in the new FC 25 game, thanks to its revolutionary feature, FC IQ.
Postecoglou, a true Aussie football legend, revealed that his strategy is often unplanned and improvisational, saying, "I’d be interested to see what actually comes up, because I don’t even know what (Ange-Ball) is at times. I’m flying by the seat of my pants most of the time when I’m coming up with things."
The FC IQ system, described as the game’s new tactical system designed to give players more strategic control and freedom, allows users to implement their preferred player tactics and transport them across accounts and consoles. This means you can bring all the essence of Ange-Ball, or your favorite elements, into the game.
We asked Ange about his thoughts on FC IQ, and he was enthusiastic about its potential: "I think it’s a great way to learn and experiment with different tactics. And who knows? Maybe I’ll get some new ideas out of it."
The veteran coach also shared his take on player ratings, acknowledging that he wouldn’t rate himself highly, saying, "It wouldn’t be high, fair to say, and that’s not just me being modest, that’s just the reality of it." However, he praised his competitive drive, suggesting he’d do well in a competitive rating system.
When asked about his preferred position and play style, Ange revealed he’s always been an attacking player at heart, preferring to score goals rather than defend. "I used to play as a fullback, but I hated it. I was always too busy trying to score goals from fullback and leaving the other defenders exposed. So I’ve always loved the attacking side of the game, but I think my limited ability slotted me into fullback."
As for what "For The Club" means to him, Ange emphasized the importance of representing the fans, saying, "For The Club is really about doing it for the supporters. Because that’s what it is… You always need to remember that when you’re representing a club you’re representing a whole group of people, sometimes generational. For them, it’s more than just sport, it’s more than just football. I never lose sight of that fact."
In conclusion, Ange Postecoglou has left an indelible mark on the sport, and his innovative approach is now available in FC 25. For those eager to try their hand at Ange-Ball, his parting words of advice are: "Mate, stick to Ange-Ball. It doesn’t guarantee success, but you’ll have some fun."
