Ange Postecoglou emphasized the importance of resilience after his team overcame an early red card to secure a commanding 3-0 victory against Qarabag in the Europa League, showing remarkable character and determination throughout the match.
Postecoglou acknowledged the team's shaky start, stating, '[The red card was] not ideal. I wasn't happy as I felt we started really sloppy. We talked about starting with a high tempo, and it was almost like the delay got to us.' He highlighted the team's reaction post-red card as commendable, despite his initial concerns.
Speaking about individual performances, he noted, '[Johnson] has some confidence in him, which is great - we need him! We knew if we win [the ball], Brennan and Sonny [Son] would have the space.' This showcases his belief in the players to rise to the occasion.
Regarding Dominic Solanke's contributions, Postecoglou said, 'He has been fantastic for us, not just goals. He went through that long drought of two games without a goal! But now, he's leading the line effectively, showcasing his recovery from injury.'
