Postecoglou: “We believed and pressed to break the trophyless streak”

Tottenham Hotspur manager Angelos Postecoglou has given his team a fitting assessment after their crucial Euro 2016 win. The coach spoke in an interview about the team's success in the play-offs and the club's long-standing trophy drought.

"I still need time to digest what happened. But I know how much this win means to the club. When you go so long without a trophy, it's so hard to overcome," said Postecoglou.

The coach stressed that play-offs are different from regular league games and that confidence and a clear tactical approach are crucial in such matches:

"I've always said that knockout games are different. In these games you have to believe in yourself and have a clear plan. Today we had confidence. I believed we could win."

Postecoglou also spoke about his experience against Manchester United: “We knew that if we pressed early, United would not be as effective in attack. That’s why our team tried to damage their attacks with high pressing and it worked.”
