Liverpool manager says he hopes his Totenham counterpart is rewarded with a trophy this season
manager is rewarded with a trophy this season for delivering a style of play that is “a privilege” to watch.on Sunday and the teams will meet again in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup after the latter secured their place with a thrilling 4-3 defeat ofon Thursday. Tottenham’s high-risk strategy attracted more criticism from pundits after the game, prompting Slot to issue a staunch defence of a rival manager for restoring his club’s identity.
“If I look at Tottenham and I come from Holland, but I did watch a lot of Match of the Day, I think about Ginola, Paul Gascoigne, Glenn Hoddle, and more recently Modric, Rafael van der Vaart and Gareth Bale,” the Liverpool head coach said. “They’ve always been a certain brand of football for me and have a certain identity. I think Ange Postecoglou gives them that identity back completely. Ange is doing great work over there. I hope this is seen a bit more.
“I’m completely a fan of his team for the Europa League because people always talk about trophies and that it’s so important. For his brand of football and his style, it is so much more important and if he can combine that with winning something that would be so good for football in general because people can stop talking about it’s too attacking or whatever.
“I think it is a privilege to be a season-ticket holder at Tottenham at the moment because they play such a great style and it’s not like since Ange arrived they don’t win anything any more. Before that they were not a club that won many things, but they always won the sympathy of the fans in Europe, maybe also in England as well, I don’t know, because of the style of play they had. That is something you cannot underestimate.
“If I think about Spurs, I think about the shirt, the playing style and their identity and certain players. For me, he brought that back completely.
