Ange Postecoglou has been warned “look at me” speeches won’t work in the millionaire’s playground of the English Premier League.
After taking over as Tottenham’s new boss, an old clip of the former Celtic manager addressing his Australia squad before their 2017 Confederations Cup match has resurface has resurfaced. It shows Postecoglou telling his players to think of inspirational family members, friends and coaches who will be “walking out” with them, referencing his own father in a bid to inspire his men to a famous win.
While it gains traction online and on social media, Simon Jordan has warned more substance is needed in the English top flight and, regardless of how Ange got his Hoops team purring, one wrong word to his new mega rich squad and they won’t buy into his vision, forcing him to fight an uphill battle. “I can just imagine Richarlison responding to all that,” Jordan scoffed after co-host Jim White played the clip on talkSport.
