by The supporters of Tottenham Hotspur may have seen James Maddison that Ange Postecoglou stood a damn message during their Europa League round of 16 Clash against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday – but fans have a different version of the incident.
Spurs generally brought a bad performance, and the own goal of Lucas Bergvall was 18 minutes the only strike of the game when the Premier League outfit fell on a 1-0 defeat in the AFAS stadium.
Of course they have the opportunity to reverse it in the second stage, which will take place on Thursday 13 March in Noord -Londen.
Nevertheless, fans were not satisfied with the side of Postecoglou, because they only registered one shot on goal despite dominating the ball with 62 percent possession compared to the 38 percent of AZ – although the home side registered five shots on goal.
Several fans on social media proclaimed the alleged lack of effort of Spurs, but Postecoglou jumped to the defense of his players while speaking after the game.
“I don’t think it’s a matter of effort or attitude, I don’t think it’s going outside and is not trying, but we didn’t really get a grip and have the right mindset to tackle an away game in Europe,” Postecoglou said.
During the night, however, fans think that TV cameras Maddison, 28, questioned his manager’s tactics while they were sitting next to Captain Son Heung-Min on the couch.
Although exactly what the English international said is unclear, but fans on social media think they have discovered it.
It was said: “Momples clearly:” It is always the same playing style, what he sees. ”
“We can see it as fans, the results show it and the players on live TV”
Another added: “The problem yesterday is that the players do not know what the plan is.”
A third explained: “I think (seriously) that he says ‘player’.
“He looks back, he refers to one of those who constantly got away with small mistakes.”
As a fourth noted: “Maybe they may still discuss the worst free kick routine I’ve ever seen.”
Spurs returns to the Premier League promotion when they host the in-form-Bournemouth team of Andoni Iraola on Sunday 9 March.
