Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur, has expressed bewilderment at the idea of fans wanting their own team to lose ahead of the crucial match against Manchester City on Tuesday.
The fixture holds significance in the Premier League title race, with a win or draw for Spurs potentially benefiting rival team Arsenal.
Postecoglou challenged the mindset of fans who would prefer their team to lose, emphasizing his disbelief and stating, “I never will understand if someone wants their own team to lose.”
He questioned the logic behind not supporting the team one claims to be a fan of, highlighting the fundamental principle of rooting for one’s own side.
Despite the potential ramifications of the match on the title race, Postecoglou reiterated his focus on setting the team up for long-term success, stating that he is not concerned about the level of support. He emphasized the team’s objective of striving for victory in every match, regardless of external factors.
In addition to addressing fan sentiments, Postecoglou confirmed that Tottenham will face Manchester City without Richarlison and Yves Bissouma, who are both sidelined for the remainder of the season due to calf and knee injuries respectively.
