The Tottenham Hotspur team played a shoddy first half in their 3-3 draw with Manchester City, so Ange Postecoglou surprised them with an angry halftime team talk.
After taking an early lead at the Etihad Stadium through Son Heung-min, Spurs gave the ball away repeatedly. Luckily, Pep Guardiola’s team’s careless finishing meant that Spurs’ deficit at halftime in the Premier League match on Sunday evening was only 2-1. When they got back to the dressing room, the Australian was visibly upset.
Goal scorer Dejan Kulusevski said, “We came out like a new team and the coach was very angry at halftime.” “Vic and the guys in the back never gave up, played without giving up, had confidence in themselves, and showed no signs of weakness. They left me really impressed.””Can you just start playing, stop making simple mistakes, just play,” the gaffer said to us. Please play and don’t be afraid; you are just as good as these guys. You are good enough. It was the first time I had ever seen him so furious, but he made the right decision, and he is correct—all we needed to do was continue to grow.
“We needed to be stronger, we are here, we can play against the best and if we can do that we’ll be up the top at the end of the season, I’m sure.”
