Tottenham Hotspur’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, has openly criticized the mindset of fans who wish for the team’s defeat in their upcoming match against Manchester City. In a recent statement, Postecoglou expressed his bafflement and disapproval towards the negative sentiment prevalent on social media platforms, where a significant majority seem to favor a Spurs loss due to rivalries.
“If you’re going by social media, 99% of them will want Spurs to lose vs Man City… but please don’t tell me that’s your world. If it is, you need counselling,” Postecoglou stated, highlighting his inability to comprehend the logic behind supporters wanting their own team to fail.
The manager further emphasized the importance of loyalty and support for one’s team, regardless of the competitive nature of the sport. “I understand rivalry but I’ll never understand anyone wanting their own team to lose,” he added.
This statement comes amidst a challenging season for Tottenham, marked by calls for strategic changes and improvement within the squad. Recently, Postecoglou confirmed the injury of key player Richarlison and discussed the future of Son Heung-min at Spurs, ensuring fans that the club is focused on overcoming its current hurdles and striving for success in all competitions.
