‘He goes really really mad’ – Spurs star reveals Postecoglou’s mood over recent weeks

Dejan Kulusevski has acknowledged that the Tottenham players have seen Ange Postecoglou’s angry side a few times. The Australian isn’t hesitant to tell the players when he thinks they are playing it too safe.

Postecoglou gained popularity in the English media during his first few months at Tottenham by showcasing his humorous side, but in the wake of his team’s dismal performances, the Spurs manager has recently displayed a far more serious and firm side.

In his post-match press conference following their Saturday loss to Wolves, the 58-year-old, who has so far been very supportive of his players, was quite critical of their performance (Football.London).

Postecoglou is not afraid to get angry at Spurs stars

According to Kuluseveski, the former Celtic player chastises the players in private if they deviate from his game plan. The Swede further claims that the Tottenham manager’s remarks frequently cause the team to respond angrily.

Regarding Postecoglou, the winger said to The Sun, “He gets angry for sure.” There have been a few halftimes where he has let us know that he believes we aren’t trying hard enough to win the game, that we’re playing it safe, and that we’re not doing enough.

He becomes really irrational. However, it always works since we play better afterwards! It’s not fun, but it’s a necessary aspect of the job; you can’t always treat players like babies; sometimes you have to treat them harshly, just like their parents. Since it ultimately benefits us, it is not frightening.

Ange is someone who allows the players to express themselves freely and does not pass judgment on them when they err while attempting to be positive, but he is also clearly quite rigid about his beliefs.

You can see him getting upset on the sidelines when the players don’t always dare to play bravely and from within.
