Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has defended his belief in winning trophies during his second season at a club, following a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal that left Spurs in 13th place in the Premier League. Postecoglou reiterated that his comments about past successes at Brisbane Roar, Yokohama F Marinos, and Celtic were factual and not boastful. He expressed confusion over the backlash to his statement, emphasizing that acknowledging past achievements is important. Looking ahead, Spurs will face Coventry City in the Carabao Cup third round, with the spotlight on Postecoglou's claims. Despite a strong start last season, Tottenham's performance declined, raising stakes for this season as they seek to end a trophy drought since 2008. Postecoglou is adamant that his goal remains to secure silverware this year.
