On Tuesday, Ange Postecoglou affirmed Tottenham’s commitment to giving their all against Manchester City, dismissing concerns that a victory could benefit bitter rivals Arsenal in the Premier League title race.
Arsenal, currently leading the table by one point over Manchester City, faced Everton in their final fixture, while City confronted West Ham at home. With City holding a game in hand, securing victories in their remaining matches could clinch them a historic fourth consecutive Premier League title.
Ahead of the crucial clash, speculation arose about Tottenham fans’ preferences regarding the outcome, with some contemplating whether denying Arsenal the championship would outweigh their allegiance to Spurs. However, Postecoglou vehemently rejected suggestions that Tottenham would prioritize anything other than victory.
The manager emphasized Tottenham’s pursuit of success based on hard work, perseverance, and resilience rather than seeking short-term gains. He underscored the importance of focusing on long-term objectives and genuine achievements, such as winning trophies.
Addressing concerns over fan sentiments, Postecoglou expressed confidence in Tottenham supporters’ backing for the team. He cautioned against placing undue significance on social media opinions, urging a focus on genuine support rather than online rhetoric.
Drawing from his experiences, Postecoglou condemned the idea of fans wishing their own team to lose, emphasizing that such attitudes contradict the spirit of sportsmanship. He stressed the importance of unity and shared goals, especially during critical matches.
Tottenham’s aspirations for a Champions League spot have dimmed following a late-season decline, with fourth-placed Aston Villa potentially dashing their hopes with a win against Liverpool. Despite the setbacks, Postecoglou affirmed Tottenham’s determination to compete fiercely against Manchester City, prioritizing their own aspirations over external considerations.
