Postecoglou wants Spurs to go far and make an impact in FA Cup

Tottenham Hotspur will travel to Tamworth in the third round of the 2024/25 FA Cup. Postecoglou said that this is a very important event and hopes that the team can go further and have an impact in this event.

With Solanke assisting Lucas Bergivall to score, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Liverpool 1-0 in the first leg of the English League Cup semi-final earlier, laying the foundation for advancing to the final and also adding a lot of confidence to the players.

Facing the challenge of the FA Cup, Tottenham Hotspur coach Postecoglou said at the press conference, "Good results are important, but I don't think one victory can change everything, but we have indeed gone through a very difficult period. As I always say, this is not because of lack of effort, and I want to especially praise the players for their efforts every week, but they just didn't get the final reward."

“The players and staff have done everything they can to turn our fortunes around and our fans have been through this together. So this feeling after winning, especially against a top team and getting a crucial win, is extremely important to keep our hopes of reaching the cup final alive and it can give us momentum for the future.”

Postecoglu continued, "I have no doubt about the players' attitude. The team has always been very aware of the importance of every game, and we will face this game with the same mentality, focusing on those things we can control and highlighting the aspects we do best. I understand that there is some gap in the competitive level of the two teams, but I believe Tamworth will regard this game as a huge opportunity, and we must be prepared for it."

In addition, Postecoglu also emphasized, "This is a very important tournament. We were eliminated soon after advancing in the third round last season. We hope to continue to stay in this competition, and in the next few weeks, some players will return to the team."

“While this may make our schedule more crowded, we will be in better shape once the players return. We hope to stay in the FA Cup and go all out at the right time and try to make an impact in the game.”
