Too bad to accept “Ange” slams “Spurs star” for being a national team player but not playing well after not winning 5 matches in a row.
Ange Postecoglou, manager of Spurs, ranked 11th in the English Premier League, gave an interview after the Europa League, League Phase 6. Where they drew 1-1 with Glasgow Rangers, ranked 3rd in the Scottish League, making the “Golden Spurs” winless in 5 consecutive matches in all competitions (3 draws, 2 losses).
After this game, Spurs have 11 points, the same as Glasgow Rangers, but have an inferior goal difference (Rangers +6 / Spurs +4), causing the “Golden Spurs” to be in 9th place. While “The Light Blues” are in 8th place, but both still have a chance to be in the top 8, which will automatically enter the round of 16.
However, Ange Postecoglou has hit out at Germany striker Timo Werner after his disappointing performance saw him substituted at half-time, with Dejan Kulusevski, who came on to equalise for Spurs.
In this game, Timo Werner lost possession 16 times, did not win any of his five one-on-one duels, and completed only 69 percent of his passes. Which made Ange Postecoglou suffer and had to be substituted at half-time.
The Spurs boss has explained why he dropped Timo Werner, saying: “He’s not playing anywhere near the level he should be. When you have 18-year-olds in your team, ทางเข้า ufabet it’s unacceptable for me. I said that to Timo because he’s a German international.
“In the moment we are in, it’s not like we have many options. At least I want everyone to come out and try to play to the best of their ability. But his performance in the first half was unacceptable.”
“We want everyone, including him, to be involved. Because we don’t have enough options to take away from the team if they don’t perform well. I expect a certain level of performance from some of the senior players and tonight it wasn’t like that.”
Spurs signed Timo Werner on loan from RB Leipzig in January before extending his contract until the end of the season, but he has not performed as well as expected. In the second half of the 2023-24 season, he scored two goals in 14 games, but has scored just one goal in 19 games this season.
