Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has revealed how his team managed to beat Manchester United 1-0 and lift the Europa League trophy. He said staying focused and having one clear goal made a big difference.
Spurs won the final match against Man Utd on Wednesday night in Bilbao. It was a big moment for the club and their fans.
The only goal of the game came in the first half, scored by Brennan Johnson. That early strike was enough to seal the win for Tottenham.
After the final whistle, Postecoglou shared that belief also played a key role in their success. He said the team kept believing they could win something this season.
Speaking to NBC Sports, the Tottenham boss said it was hard to describe his feelings. He praised the club and the fans and admitted that the season had its struggles. But in the second half of the season, he focused fully on one thing — winning a trophy.
Postecoglou said that this win is important because people often say Spurs are a team that almost wins but never does. He explained that the only way to change that image is by actually winning, and that’s what they did.
He also shared that managing the team wasn’t easy, especially with many injuries. But he stayed strong and kept his mind set on victory. He believed all along that they could win something, and now they have.
