Ange Postecoglou has returned to ‘Mr. Hindsight ‘and has taken into account the suspicions of his ability to manage Tottenham Hotspur.
Postecoglou, who led Spurs to the Europa League quarter -finals on Thursday, came out fighting with a tremendous response to the pressure he was under his second season at the club.
Before facing Fulham on Sunday in the Premier League, Postecoglou was asked how he had dealt with questions about his future and if there was more review in Tottenham than in his previous work, with the club sat 13 at the table.
At a press conference that lasted for over 30 minutes, he said: “Yes, the review is more because there is more noise, but that does not mean it should affect you.
“I’ve said a lot, many times that she doesn’t bother me because I’m not really sure how people perceive this role and especially me as a person, that they would think I would worry about tomorrow if there is a negative result. I just don’t live my life that way. I don’t think that way.
“I love what I do. I get up every day, take over the challenge. Look where opportunities are and continue to move.
“There is a lot of noise. I think there is always a kind of two sides for that. One is the people who do a critical analysis of what I do. Others, just like the story of a manager who is under pressure, people are harassed.
“Some people really enjoy that process for some strange reason and as much as they try to push individuals, be it or someone else, in that kind of position, then generates for them whatever pleasure they come from. But it does not infiltrated my world.
“Despite what happened last night (Vs Az Alkmaar), I would still have gone home and ask my children how the concert went. My life goes on. It’s not so great that I feel the need to block them all or react to him. It doesn’t bother me.
‘Google my name and get some titles’
When asked if it is more intense because of where he comes, Postecoglou said: “If I say this, then people will just see me playing the victim’s card and I don’t want to do it. But 100 percent has an element of this. There is no doubt about it.
“Let me give you an example. At that profession you are. You are a journalist, you are a plumbing, you are a policeman, you are a lawyer, you are a doctor, you have done that job for 26, 27 years.
“Regardless of whatever you do, do you think that person has a very good idea about that job? Will you ever question his knowledge of that job? Will you ever question whether any decision he makes or experienced before?
“If you survive for 26, 27 years, it means you haven’t filled many times. At that time you do, because if you are a plumbing, then wherever you go, if there is a leak, then you will not get another job. If you are a doctor and people are dying, then you are unlikely to start.
“If you are doing it for 26, 27 years, he has a right idea of what he is doing. But then you can say that he is just a mill?
“But then if that person would start on the factory floor of that industry, whatever industry it was, maybe you are a CEO or whatever, and it ends up in the position where it gets a first percentage of its profession, then you have to say, okay, this guy should have something.
“I’m talking about the level. I’m not talking about expertise. But then you can say, okay, but he’s out of depth now. But if you got an eighth -up club in your first full year … so when you put them all together and then you hear, as I said, he is out of it, he doesn’t know what he doesn’t, he doesn’t, he doesn’t, he doesn’t. work.
“You may be critical of his performance, but you won’t make it. Google my name and get some titles. Just plaster them on a wall. And you’ll say, I don’t think it fits somewhat. But that’s what we are.

Ange Postecoglou thinks the Sunday Spence of Tottenham Hotspur and James Maddison have been in great shape and it is certain that they will be in the frame of England’s future teams.
“There is a critical analysis of performance at every level. And as I said, as you become higher, there are bigger things in the discussion, for sure.
“Forget the football manager, forget me. Only everyone else, would you say that he has no idea what he is doing. He has no plan B. He is stubborn, his methods do not work. He is not in his depth.
“Where does this come from? From people who maybe … some weren’t even born when I started managing. I started in 1996-97.
‘Greatest Nemesis of a Manager is Mr. Hindsight’
“You have to admit that it is part of the world I am in. But I accept it. I don’t have to react to it. I can just laugh because I just think it’s funny.
“And it doesn’t change me as a person, it doesn’t change anything I do or what I believe or how I continue to continue. Because my career will continue. Everyone understands that whatever happens, my career will continue. That’s a long answer, right?”
Do you still enjoy it during this time?
“I love it. No, I’m not saying that kind in a fasces way. I love the fact that, you know, there is a massive challenge there and people are doubting you and all those things.
“I love him. But I also think some of them are just funny beyond his nature to be anything other than just cheap and very shallow. I am not talking about critical analysis. I am not talking about it, you know … Oh, Jeez, I am continuing now …
“I have one more story and then will let you go. You know who is the biggest nemesis for every manager? In today’s world, and he has come to the surface only in five, six years, maybe 10 years.
“You know who Mr Hindsight is? He is the boy who, when the result is there, the result is already done, he has received all the answers with the greatest security that was so clear, and he is never wrong.
“And Mr. Hindsight will go there every time and means to be the oracle of all the oracles because he simply deals with what happened after the event, never before. And there is such a measure of Mr Hindsight. The killers have to do a song for him. I would definitely buy it.
“You want to be critical or want to have some kind of really strong thoughts about things? Say them before the event. Make them really clear and stand by them when they are wrong because I guarantee you will be as wrong as any manager who is wrong probably more often.
“But there are not many of them. There are some that if they do not do it before the event, as the event will always make a prospect for their analysis. But I see them, husband, and I hear them after the event. ‘Oh so clearly. Oh, how did that team make that team’s choice?’
“It is easy to deal with a result. Anyone can deal with a result. You don’t need to understand even football. That team won, that team is lost, that team is better, that coach is better, those players are better, that system is better, those choices are better, those decisions are always. visible, so is it point?
“If it is only results, what is the intention of having anything else? All we will do is anyone who won, you put a column there and say that everyone is writing the same part about it and whoever lost, you put a column there, they all write the same part there. These managers are under pressure, these managers are the best.
“But anyway, we had to have this offline. I’ve said a lot of things I will regret tomorrow.”
