The 17th round of the English Premier League is in full swing, Tottenham Hotspur at home against Liverpool, with a score of 3-6 defeat. After the game, Tottenham manager Postecoglou faced the camera of Sky Sports and analyzed the whole game in multiple dimensions.
Postecoglou got right to the point and expressed his admiration for Liverpool: "This game was nothing less than a bitter lesson for us. We must admit that Liverpool's performance today was beyond our expectations. They are not only in the physical, but also in the technical level to show the top giants of the bottom."
He then opened up about the challenges facing Spurs themselves, "Our players are exhausted, which is completely understandable in the current situation. We've kept our line-up the same since Thursday night and it's been a huge test for the players both physically and mentally."
Facing the team's problems, Postecoglou did not shy away from the fact that "Liverpool is a strong team with impeccable performance. Although we gave our best, we were still a bit out of our depth against such a sharp opponent. Their coordination is tacit and their offense comes like a tidal wave, which is difficult for us to resist."
However, he also recognized the team's offensive potential: "The loss was frustrating, but I have a clear vision of the team's goals. I have emphasized this week that we are committed to building an attacking team. Today, we did score three goals, but unfortunately, those goals did not help us win."
For the outstanding performance of Liverpool's substitutes, Postecoglou likewise spoke highly of them, "Look at their performances after their substitutes came on the field, both in terms of technique and tactical understanding, all of which reached an extremely high level. This fully illustrates the power of Liverpool, we still have a long way to go."
In the end, Postecoglou concluded, "I think I have clearly stated what happened in today's game. Despite the difficulties we have encountered, we will not give up our efforts and will continue to improve ourselves. I believe that as long as we work together, we will come out of the difficulties and welcome a more brilliant future."
