Ange Postecoglou says Tottenham performed just as usual against Aston Villa
According to Football London, Tottenham Hotspur gaffer Ange Postecoglou gave a ‘humble’ response about his team’s performance against Aston Villa. The Spurs boss was addressing the media after Tottenham’s 0-4 victory against Aston Villa. A journo asked him — Is that (the match against Villa) the best performance of your time here? He said:
"I don’t know, it’s a hard one to assess. At the beginning of the year we played some big games, we handled ourselves well. But considering the context of the game, the venue and the opponent, I thought it was as controlled as we’d been in any game all year, the way we handled everything."Postecoglou went on to talk about the team’s growth and the importance of controlling the game even against quality opponents. While the manager was full of humility despite the commanding victory away from home in one of the most crucial fixtures, many fans would disagree with their boss.
The game against Unai Emery’s men was evidently one of the club’s best performances this season. It is a much-needed positivity for the club’s supporters.
