Poseteclou, manager of Tottenham Hotspur, laughed at the comments from the former Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger for the hope of his team for the hope of qualifying for the Champions League.
Spurs are fighting to win the Europa League and to book a place in the richest competition in Europe in an otherwise abysmal season for Postecoglous team, which occupies 16th place in the Premier League table. Manchester United, who is also in the semi -finals of the Europa League, is the 15th place in Germany.
Since both English teams are currently carrying out favorites for the final, it has triggered a debate about whether both sides really deserve to qualify for the Champions League. Wenger was one of many who spoke to the winners of the Europa League against the award of a guaranteed place in the top competition.
“You should automatically qualify for the Europa League again, not necessarily for the Champions League, especially for those in a league in which you already have so many teams – five teams that will qualify,” insisted Wenger.
A very unimpressed Postecoglou took the opportunity to trace Wenger, and those who share his opinion and claimed “Spurs does crazy things to humans”.
“Well, I mean, that’s a debate that has been raging for years for years, as in the past eight days,” Poseteclou replied sarcastic. “I’ve never heard of that, so …
“I’ve already said it, buddy, Spurs does crazy things to humans.
“Last year, fifth [in the Premier League] I didn’t take you to the Champions League, this year it does. What does that mean? There are competitive rules and the rules state that the winner goes into it [the Champions League] And it is not the first year and there is no star that you also have to do something else. But they are spores, buddies, they love it. They love it. Oh, you love it, you love it, don’t you?
“I don’t want to go down this street because I have a lot of respect for Arsene. He is one of the legends of the game, but it does crazy things, buddy, I love it. I love it, it will be upset. It will annoy people that makes me happy.”
Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario also laughed at the comments and added: “Everyone can have their thoughts about everything in life. I do not agree [with Wenger] But it doesn’t matter. They are the rules. “
Postecoglou’s Side was a 3-1 win against Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of her semi -finals – a match that could easily have won through other goals – and are convenient favorites to bring the tie to bed on Thursday.
If you appear as expected, you will probably face United, who have a 3-0 advantage compared to the Athletic Club.
