Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou rubbishes ‘revenge’ talks for Matty Cash’s challenge on Rodrigo Bentancur
Recently, there has been a lot of talk around Matty Cash’s tackle of Rodrigo Bentancur which resulted in a serious injury for the Tottenham Hotspur player. Fans have been making speculations about revenge and inciting Spurs players to give him a taste of his own medicine.
Aston Villa, have been on top of their game and is currently narrowly beating Spurs to be a qualifying team for the UEFA Champions League as they sit fourth in the Premier League table. Five teams may qualify this season based on co-efficient rankings but if the traditional four-teams format continues, Tottenham will have reason to have a foul taste in their mouth for Villa and Cash in general.
Speaking about the situation, as quoted by Football. London, Ange Postecoglou laughed off revenge talks for Matty Cash’s horrendous tackle on Rodrigo Bentancur
“I wouldn’t place sole ownership on the fans, it seems like you’re fuelling that a bit yourselves! No interest mate. For us, the challenge is to face a really good team with really strong home form and beyond that you’d be surprised about how little that stuff infiltrates what we do and sort of our motivations for a game of football.”
“If anything, they’re the type of things where you hope that as you mature and develop as a team become less and less important or a focus. When you’re clutching at those kinds of things, you’re losing sense of what’s important. What’s important for us is to be at our best against a very good football team and try to get a result.”
Focus on the game, mate!
Postecoglou has claimed that Tottenham is set on facing a good team in strong form because the focus is winning. Instead of taking revenge, their aim is to qualify for UEFA
