Ange Postecoglou defended Tottenham amidst criticism from former captain Hugo Lloris, who claimed in his autobiography that chairman Daniel Levy's gift of 'Champions League finalist' watches symbolized a lack of ambition. Postecoglou emphasized the need for context, noting that the club's near-successes, including being runners-up in both the Premier League and Champions League, should be viewed positively. He stated that ambitions at the club should not be dictated by past failures and that he maintains high aspirations for future success. Postecoglou also expressed that the narrative surrounding Lloris's comments may overlook the broader achievements during that time. Spurs aim to rebound from a recent defeat in the Europa League as they prepare to face Ipswich Town in the Premier League. The manager remains focused on creating a winning culture despite the club's prolonged trophy drought.
