“Ian Wright Shocks Fans with Bold Trophy Prediction for Spurs Under Postecoglou This Season!
Ian Wright believes that Ange Postecoglou’s confident declaration about winning a trophy in his second season could very well come true for Tottenham.
Postecoglou’s Ambitious Outlook
Unlike some of his predecessors at Spurs, who often downplayed the club’s chances of competing with top Premier League teams, the Australian has been open about his high aspirations. Postecoglou even stated that he would consider this season a failure if he doesn’t lead the Lilywhites to silverware (Football.London).
Wright Backs Postecoglou
While some may argue that Postecoglou’s comments add unnecessary pressure on himself and his players, Wright appreciates the manager’s confidence, believing he can achieve his ambitious goals. The Arsenal legend remarked to Premier League Productions: “If we’re judging him on his last result, he’s confident enough to say that he always wins in his second seasons. Looking at Tottenham’s style of play, and factoring in injuries, I can see this team winning a trophy.”
Julien Laurens echoed Wright’s sentiments, emphasizing that Tottenham can beat any opponent on their day. The French football expert noted, “For instance, in the Europa League, with no teams dropping down from the Champions League, they have a real chance, as do they in the domestic cups.”
“When Plan A works, as it did yesterday, anything is possible. It may not have worked against Arsenal and Newcastle, but if they can refine Plan A, they can defeat anyone.”
Postecoglou’s Cultural Shift at Spurs
By publicly declaring his ambitions for silverware, Postecoglou is sending a clear message to both his players and the club. He aims to shift the mentality away from merely viewing a top-four finish as a success, a mindset that has prevailed at Spurs for nearly two decades.
However, the media is likely to seize on his statements, using them against him whenever challenges arise.
