Postecoglou "Winning the second year"

Can Tottenham overcome the current crisis.

Engie Postecoglou said, "I don't usually win in the first year, I always win in the second year. Nothing has changed."

"It's funny. I was just telling the truth. Should I lie or say it didn't happen?" he said at a press conference ahead of the Coventry and Carabao Cups.

"Does it look like I said it to show off? I'm confused that people are giving this statement a lot of meaning. I was just telling the truth," he added.

Tottenham lost 0-1 at home in the fourth round of the English Premier League in the 2024-25 season against Arsenal on the 15th. Tottenham has been in a rough early season as it lost two consecutive games following Newcastle in the third round. Tottenham has only four points with one win, one draw and two losses.

He performed well under Postecoglou in the last season, leading the league in the early stages of the season. However, he remained in fifth place in the Premier League as his performance deteriorated at the end of the season. The mood was even worse at the beginning of this season. Rumors have it that Postecoglou will be replaced.

"I didn't usually win in the second season, but I always won in the second season," he said in an interview before the season. Recently, there was talk about this again due to the sluggish performance. It was criticized whether he could win the title while his performance was declining.

Postecoglou said, "I've had success in my 26 years as a manager, most of them in my second year, but that's not always the case. Sometimes I had success in my first year, sometimes in my third year. I don't think it puts any more pressure on me. It doesn't put any pressure on me. Rather, I'm proud of what I've achieved so far. I want to do that at Tottenham."

He also said, "I think telling the truth is the way forward, but sometimes it seems to come too straight to people. I think people rather wish I hadn't said this."

Postecoglou's goal is to win the trophy. This is why he thinks last season was a failed season. "I made it clear what my expectations were. If I had not trusted myself, I would not have been able to give this answer in one of the biggest clubs in the world and the best league in the world," he said.
