Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou admitted he felt hurt after Chelsea came from behind to beat his side 4-3 in the Premier League on Sunday.
“It was obviously a very painful game because we started well, not just the goals we scored, but the way we played, we controlled the game and had good chances to score more than the two goals,” Postecoglou said. “Then you lose Cristian Romero after the second goal.
“The injuries are something we’ve always had. Nothing went smoothly. I still feel like we had a really good first half. We had two or three chances to score the third goal.”
“However, in the second half they came out and put us under pressure. I felt we didn’t handle it very well and when they scored we had a big moment where we were 2-2 down and 3-2 up. In a game like this, concentration is important in the crucial moments.”
The Australian is under pressure after recent criticism from fans, ufabet http://ufabet999.app and they find themselves in 11th spot in the Premier League.
Postecoglou has previously said he tends to succeed with teams in his second season, but after an impressive debut campaign, they are struggling as the second half of the season approaches.
“We conceded two penalties, it was very bad, our players caused problems for themselves and they made unnecessary tackles and to get the result in a game like this, I think it’s really difficult if you can’t handle the pressure well enough.”
