Postecoglou defends gesture to Spurs fans after Chelsea defeat

Ange Postecoglou faced criticism from Tottenham supporters during their 1-0 loss to Chelsea, particularly after he cupped his ear towards them following what he thought was an equalizing goal by Pape Sarr, which was later disallowed by VAR for a foul. Postecoglou claimed his gesture was misinterpreted, explaining he simply wanted to hear the fans cheer after a tough season. He expressed frustration over the VAR decision, stating it took an excessive amount of time for what should have been a clear call. Spurs have now lost 16 of their 30 league matches this season, placing them 14th in the Premier League standings. Despite the ongoing disconnect with fans, Postecoglou remains determined to improve the team's fortunes. He acknowledged the challenges ahead, emphasizing the need to stay focused and motivated in upcoming matches.
