The 20th round of the English Premier League is in full swing, Tottenham Hotspur suffered a tough challenge from Newcastle United at home, and went home with a 1-2 score. After the match, Tottenham coach Postecoglou faced the cameras of the British media and started an in-depth conversation about the match.
"Overall, if the conditions were equal, we deserved to have the last laugh." Postecoglou was outspoken, "The players were perfect, I have nothing to say. Their hustle and tactical execution were at their peak, and I no longer need to ask for anything extra. It's just that reality is always cruel, and even if everything is fair, it's hard to reverse the outcome of today's match."
Talking about the controversial penalties in the game, especially the question of whether Jolington's handball constituted a penalty, Postecoglou appeared to be calm: "Each has his own point of view, but my point of view is that if everything is fair, we can win. I don't dwell on the penalty because it doesn't change the outcome of the game. We had a lot of chances to win the game and we played well enough considering the current predicament."
Postecoglou has high praise for the performance of goalkeeper Brandon Austin: "He played impeccably today and showed exceptional class. The players rose to the challenge at such a difficult time. Brandon Austin had a solid game with precise saves and excellent positional sense, a game that he deservedly deserved to win."
