The "headed" coach is so scheming, Tottenham is about to break the crownless curse!

Football

Artificial turf, extremely cold weather, devil's away game... In the face of absolute strength crushing, all these "metaphysical" factors have failed. Tottenham defeated Bode Shining away and entered the UEFA Cup finals with a strong hope of breaking the crownless curse is near.

Promoted twice, two ways

In the league that has ended this season, Tottenham lost more than half of the games (35 games and 19 losses), creating the worst record in the Premier League era. When the high-level oppression tactics were dismantled by the opponent and his side suffered large-scale injuries, Postkoglu did not make timely adjustments, and the "iron-headed" Australian coach has always been unwilling to compromise.

As the season deepened, Postkoglu was gradually surrounded by the sound of being dismissed. Facing tremendous pressure, the Australian coach finally bowed to reality. The Premier League's decline has no need to be restored, and the Europa League knockout has become Tottenham's only hope for completing the season's redemption. First, he played the three central defender/five defender bus in the second leg against Frankfurt, and then adopted a time-killing style in the game where Borde shining. Tottenham performed very steadily in the past two stages of the UEFA Europa League, and Postkoglu's adjustments achieved miraculous results.

One step away, a big hidden danger

As the first English team to win the European Championship (1963 Cup of Winners), Tottenham's peak years were in the coaching period of Bill Nigulson. They won twice in the later League Cup, and their two top league championships and three European Championships were their foundation. After entering the Premier League era, Tottenham gradually fell into mediocrity. Since winning the League Cup in 2007/08, Tottenham has been in a "champion-free" state for 17 years, and the experience of passing the championship several times during this period is a pity.

Postkoglu led the team forward in adversity, and now he is finally striving to create history. The biggest obstacle before them is injuries. Vicario, Van der Fen, Romero and Udoki have made a comeback one after another. Tottenham's defense line is already very neat. The problem that has troubled Postkoglu lies in the forward line. Son Heung-min may be able to make a comeback before the final. Berrival has been reimbursed for the season, and Madison seems to be likely to miss the final battle.

Confront "metaphysics" and break the curse

Of course, even if you can welcome Son Heung-min, who has returned from injury, Postkoglu's work will not be easy. How to use the Tottenham captain is a difficult problem in itself.

In the last insistence of the second-tier UEFA Champions League that year, Son Heung-min should probably bow to reality.

Pochettino arranged for Kane, who had just recovered from injury, to start in the Champions League final (2018/19 season), and left Lucas, who was in excellent form on the bench, resulting in irreparable losses. Now, Solank, Risalisson, Kulusevsky and Brennan Johnson have established a tacit understanding. Postkoglu is facing a difficult choice whether Son Heung-min will play the 12th player role after his return.
