Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has explained that he cupped his ears at fans to get cheers because he thought his team had scored, not to retaliate or provoke them as some people misunderstood. The
Spurs were defeated 1-0 at Chelsea in the Premier League on Thursday. In the 69th minute, Pape Sarr scored the equaliser but was later ruled out by VAR for a foul.
While celebrating the disallowed goal, Postecoglou turned to the away end at Stamford Bridge and put his right hand over his ear.
Just minutes earlier, the Aussie coach was booed by some fans with chants of “You don’t know what you’re doing” while replacing Lucas Bergvall and Wilson Odober with Sarr and Brannen Johnson.
That raised questions about whether “Big Ange” might have cupped his ears in response to criticism, but he insisted that he had no intention of doing so. สมัครสมาชิก UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีทุกวัน Speaking after a run of four league games without a win and sinking to 14th place:
“It’s amazing when you see people interpret things… We just scored and I just want to hear the fans cheering. “
We’ve been through a difficult period and I think the team scored a great goal. I want to encourage the fans because I think the momentum is going in our favor to get the win. “
The boos don’t bother me. It’s not the first time they’ve booed my substitutions or my decisions. It’s all good. The fans have the right to do that. “
People want to interpret that I’m trying to cause some issues. The truth is I just want the fans to get the players behind me to finish the game as winners.”
