Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou toasts as early birthday present

Wiki Article

Ange Postecoglou toasted his new-look Tottenham team for providing an early birthday present with a 2-0 win at Bournemouth and backed bargain James Maddison to get even better.Maddison pulled the strings on the south coast and opened his account for Spurs with his 17th-minute goal, which helped make it back-to-back victories in the Premier League for the visitors.Dejan Kulusevski added a second after half-time to end his goal drought stretching back to January to keep the feelgood factor around Tottenham despite losing record marksman Harry Kane to Bayern Munich on the eve of the new campaign.Postecoglou has overseen an impre sive seven-point haul from a po sible nine since he took over and admitted he could now enjoy his 58th birthday on Sunday.Yeah, Im 58. We always put birthday Saddiq Bey Jersey celebrations on hold depending on the result but Im sure my wife is scrambling to arrange something for tomorrow, the Australian smiled.Itll be nice. Short turnaround to Fulham so still got to go into work tomorrow but itll be nice to spend some time with the family and now another click closer to that 60 mark, mate.There had been doubts over Maddisons availability at Vitality Stadium after he left Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last weekend on crutches and in a protective boot.While the England international said at the time it was precautionary, he only returned to training on Friday, but starred again with the number 10 shirt on his back.Maddison moved from Leicester in June for an initial 40million deal that could rise in add-ons and during a summer where midfielders have transferred for more than 100million, it appears a steal.Postecoglou added: A 45 Isaiah Stewart Jersey million bargain? I dont know what world you live in mate, but I know what you mean and relatively so.There wasnt anyone happier than me when we got him. I was delighted. I wouldnt say Im surprised, but Im overjoyed at the footballer Ive got. The way hes embraced the whole club, where hes at in his life.He really wants to be the person. Hes that creative force for us. He works hard, he wins the ball back, pre ses. Its not like he just comes to life when weve got the ball. Hes had a disrupted week. He only had one se sion with us, but for him to put on a performance like that is credit to him.And I think theres more to come when he gets more understanding with our forward players and they get more understanding with him. Hes going to keep improving. If we got him in the bargain bin, thats great for us.The only negative for Tottenham was another game without a goal for Richarlison, who was replaced on the hour mark.He just needs to Richard Hamilton Jersey work hard, keep contributing to the team and contributing to us being succe sful and overcoming the challenges we have, Postecoglou countered.Richy will work hard. Hes a good footballer and hell get his goals.Meanwhile, Bournemouth bo s Andoni Iraola was left disappointed with their end to an entertaining contest.Ryan Christie tested Guglielmo Vicario before half-time and Antoine Semenyo curled into the side-netting after the break before Destiny Udogie burst into the area and cut back for Kulusevski to wrap the points up for Spurs.Iraola said: I was disappointed probably with the end of the game after the 2-0.I think until 2-0 the team was playing really well and it looked like in this moment we had chances to score the 1-1, but from there we probably lacked a little bit of intensity and they were more comfortable on the ball.In the first half we put them in really difficult positions. I think (Yves) Bi souma and Maddison were in difficult positions, but they are good and they were winning duals even with a man on their back and protecting very well the ball.Probably we didnt regain so many balls because for me they could sustain a very good pre s.
