During Tottenham Hotspur’s match against Shakhtar Donetsk, Ange Postecoglou was notably vocal in guiding his team.
As reported by Football.London, the manager was incessantly encouraging his players to ‘play, play, play’.
Tottenham Hotspur enjoyed a decisive 5-1 victory over Shakhtar on Sunday, largely thanks to Harry Kane scoring four times.
Despite growing interest from Bayern Munich, the 29-year-old striker continues to demonstrate his essential role in the Spurs team.
However, even after such a dominant win, Postecoglou, the Australian manager, appeared not fully satisfied.
Indeed, he affirmed after the friendly there is more work ahead to incorporate his playing style into the team.
His main message to his players was simple and clear.
Postecoglou’s consistent guidance to his Tottenham players
According to Football.London, Postecoglou was deeply disappointed when Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg launched a long pass that eventually led to Shakhtar equalizing.
Reacting to this, Postecoglou gestured animatedly and shouted “play, play, play” followed by a stern conversation during half-time.
The Australian coach’s call for more ‘play’ continually echoed during the friendly game.
Postecoglou is evidently striving to cultivate a dynamic playing style at Spurs. However, the transition may take some time due to the defensive approach adopted by previous managers.
Under managers like Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho, many Spurs players have become accustomed to a more defensive play.
Despite this, Tottenham seems to be adapting well to Postecoglou’s methodology, as evident from their commanding performance in recent friendlies.
