Tottenham ace reaffirms faith in Ange Postecoglou amidst Real Madrid interest

That said, former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou has had his fair share of misfortune this season. Tottenham have been plagued by injuries to key players throughout the campaign, severely disrupting momentum and consistency. It’s a factor that has undeniably made life difficult for Postecoglou and has had a direct impact on performances and results on the pitch.

However, sympathy appears to be wearing thin. Many fans have grown tired of the excuses and are demanding accountability at all levels of the club. Frustration has boiled over on multiple occasions, with protests against the management and board taking place ahead of several home fixtures. While injuries have played a part, the fanbase is clearly no longer satisfied with explanations — they want results.

Ange Postecoglou has full backing from Tottenham players

Amidst the chaos of a disappointing domestic campaign, the Europa League has been the sole source of hope, the one competition keeping Spurs’ season alive. The Lilywhites remain in contention to win the tournament and will face Eintracht Frankfurt in the crucial second leg of their quarter-final clash on Thursday. All eyes will be on Ange Postecoglou’s men to see if they can rise to the occasion and book their place in the semi-finals, potentially salvaging pride and purpose from an otherwise dismal campaign.

When asked if the players still trust Ange Postecoglou, Spurs defender Micky van de Ven said in his presser (as transcribed by Football.london),

“We all still have the trust in the gaffer and still have trust in the way he’s playing, so tomorrow we want to win the game of course for him, but also for us, also for the club, and also for the fans. It hasn’t been a really good season, but it’s a big game for us and of course we want to achieve something special this season. I think this is the best way to do it.”

The defender suggested that the squad is fully committed to turning things around and believes they can still end the season on a high. Van de Ven also revealed that the team is determined to win the upcoming clash against Eintracht Frankfurt, not just to keep their Europa League dreams alive, but to do it for Postecoglou, whose future hangs in the balance.

Meanwhile, Micky van de Ven is the latest Tottenham star to be linked with a move to Real Madrid. One of our best young players, we hope the Dutchman stays put at N-17 for years to come.
