Ange Postecoglou: Fourth place is not Tottenham’s goal this season
League Plus – Tottenham Hotspur coach Ange Postecoglou insists his side cannot see fourth place in the Premier League as a prize after losing 3-0 to London rivals Fulham.
Tottenham suffered a harsh defeat against Fulham, 3-0, in the match that took place between them, this evening, Saturday, in the English Premier League competition.
However, Tottenham put in a very lackluster performance at their London rivals, with in-form Cottagers striker Rodrigo Muniz scoring twice in either Sasa Lukic’s opener for Fulham in a three-goal defeat.
Sunday’s loss was the first time Tottenham had failed to score in a Premier League match under Postecoglou, bringing an end to their impressive 39-game goal streak in the top flight of English football.
“I don’t see fourth place as a prize,” he said in the post-match press conference. “This club has finished fourth before, finished second before. You can do all kinds of things to it. It has reached the Champions League final, and you can do all kinds of things.” Except for this club.”
“He has achieved things. So fourth place is not my ultimate goal. I don’t want to finish fourth if we don’t grow as a team and improve as a team. If no one believes me that’s fine. Part of the narrative is to push you into this kind of situation where you think fourth place is The kind of accomplishment that gives you something for next year.”
He continued, “This does not give you anything unless fourth place would be great if you feel that we are growing as a team and creating something that will bring us success next year, but fourth place is not our goal. This has not happened, it is not my goal.”
He concluded, “This is certainly not my goal, but I understand it from the outside. Especially in the English Premier League, people seem to push you into this situation where you succeed or fail only based on the result. I don’t think this is the way you can achieve it.” “Have success.
