Postecoglou defends second-season trophy remark after North London derby defeat - Soccer News
Briefly

"It's amazing, isn't it? I just stated a fact. Am I supposed to just lie or just say it never happened?" Postecoglou expressed his bewilderment at the backlash over his remarks about winning trophies in his second season. He believes he was misinterpreted and emphasizes the importance of honesty in communication. He insists that acknowledging his past successes shouldn't be seen as boasting, but rather as a reflection of his managerial experience.
"In my 26 years of managing, I've had success and most of that has come in the second year, not all of it. Sometimes it's happened in the first year, sometimes in the third year." This perspective on his career indicates that Postecoglou views his historical track record as a reason for optimism, despite current challenges. He believes this experience can translate into tangible success for Spurs, despite their recent struggles.
"I don't see why that puts extra pressure. It doesn't put extra pressure on me because I love the fact that I've done that. It's what I want to do here." His confidence in his ability to lead Spurs to success highlights his commitment to the club and belief in his own capabilities.
"I'd like to think that just saying the truth is the way to go forward but I think sometimes that's too confronting for people, they'd much rather I didn't." Postecoglou's remarks reflect his desire for transparency and open communication, even if it leads to discomfort among fans and the media.
