THE Angelos Postecoglouher coach Tottenham gave an interview to Gary Lineker for Football Focus and talked about his unbeaten team and his goals for the rest of the season.
The London team, who have not won a title since the League Cup in 2008, after 6 matches are in 4th place in the standings, 4 points away from Manchester City who have the absolute with 18 points.
“I never thought I would make it this far to be honest, not because of my ability, just because no one had looked at my work. I have come up very late in my career but now I have had the pleasure of being at one of the most famous clubs in the world, Celtic and one of the biggest football clubs in the world, Tottenham Hotspur. I’m late, it just took someone looking beyond the norm“, he emphasized.
“I felt the club was ready for it, it was asking for a change. There was no point in hiring me otherwise. In the discussions we had, I told them that this is what I was going to do and I was not going to compromise. I’ve really enjoyed how players have embraced this. The team has not been tested yet and will be tested. We’ll definitely have our ups and downs along the way, but I’m really happy with how the players have reacted to the way we’ve chosen to play“, he added.
On Harry Kane’s departure he said: “He was brilliant throughout his career. I was disappointed because you want to work with the best players, he is an amazing striker and I thought he could help me. I understood that he was at the stage of his career where he wanted to win trophies. I understood and planned to play without him. He has left an indelible mark on this football club, he will go down as one of the greats, but we have to move on. Football clubs are moving forward».
Finally, about his goal with Tottenham he said:It can’t just be the… desperate search for a trophy. This club is more than that. I don’t see it as a club where just one trophy is enough. I know why there’s such desperation because there’s been so much… drought, but that’s not what I want to build. I want to build a team where every year we will fight for trophies».
