What Ange Postecoglou told his players before Tottenham’s Europa League final win over Manchester United

In a new documentary titled ‘Winners’, Postecoglou’s team talk has now been made public.

“Remember why we do this. It’s not just about winning things. It’s about paying back. Giving to people who love us and make sacrifices for us,” Postecoglou said.

“So you walk out today, not just 11 brothers. Walk out today with all of us with you, with all those people with you.

“The thousands in the stadium with you, hundreds of thousands back home with you. We’re the biggest army. They can’t stop us…they can’t stop us. What we have can’t be stopped.

“Just go out there, play our football, be like a family. At the end of the game, when he’s lifting that trophy, you’re going to make all those people prouder than they have ever been in their lifetimes.”

Ruben Amorim outclassed Ange Postecoglou in Europa League final

Spurs may have been the team celebrating in Bilbao, but it’s Amorim preparing for another season at United while Postecoglou looks for his next role.

Even though he was still new to the job, Amorim got his side to a major final. And although the result didn’t go their way, the game’s stats show his players failed to back up the plan.

The numbers paint a telling picture. United controlled most of the match but conceded to the only shot Tottenham had on target – which came from a moment of bad luck.

Amorim had stressed the need for ruthlessness before the final, but his side couldn’t find the finishing touch.

Now, with a summer to strengthen the squad, the manager will be hoping to add the firepower needed to turn performances like this into silverware next time.
