Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou says his comment about always winning trophies in his second season was 'not a boast'.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has defended his comment about "always" winning trophies in his second season - and says he is "amazed" and "confused" by negative reaction.He told Sky Sports: "I'll correct myself - I don't usually win things, I always win things in my second year. Nothing's changed.", the former Celtic boss said: "It's amazing, isn't it? I just stated a fact.
Spurs finished fifth in the Premier League after a drop in form in the second half of last season, and are 13th this campaign with one win in four.Postecoglou won the Australian title with both South Melbourne and Brisbane Roar, and the Japanese league with Yokohama F Marinos - all in his second season or second full season in charge.
Although it is down to international football federations - Argentina in Romero's case - to arrange travel, some clubs step in.Postecoglou confirmed Romero was not rushed back as the match took place on Sunday, and that his defender reported no complaints before kick-off."No-one reported anything other than the usual checks of people coming back from international duty, so prior to the game no-one said anything.
"The international calendar is really putting some strenuous demands on footballers performing at the highest level," said Postecoglou.
