""Our second half was exactly how we wanted it to be," he said. "Energy, intensity, tempo, playing forward, and the fans pushed us on. " "We got a goal and had chances for a second one. Unfortunately, we didn't get it, and in the end, it wasn't enough. If we had played two halves like that, we would have won the game.""
""Of course I understand the [fans'] frustration. Understandable. But I also think what was very nice to see in the second half was how unified the team and the fans were together. They fed off each other's energy. How we played and went forward - that's what we need to build going forward. " "In the second half, the passion, character and intensity that we played with, that's what we need to bring every game and every 90 minutes.""
Tottenham Hotspur exited the FA Cup after a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa, with Buendia and Morgan Rogers scoring for the visitors and Wilson Odobert pulling one back for Spurs. Xavi Simons had a late goal disallowed for offside as Tottenham's comeback fell short. The club failed to reach the fourth round for the first time since 2013-14. Fans expressed visible frustration at full time, and a melee followed a celebration near Joao Palhinha. Thomas Frank praised the second-half energy, urged consistent intensity across both halves, and noted unity between players and supporters.
