Coach Unge Postecoglou said Son Heung-min, who is out due to injury, is not a situation he misses right away.
Coach Postecoglou said at a press conference after Brighton and Hove Albion and Tottenham Hotspur's 2-3 come-from-behind loss in the seventh round of the English Premier League in the 2024-2025 season at the American Express Stadium in Palmer, near Brighton, England, on the 7th (Korea time).
Son suffered a hamstring injury in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League phase against Caravac (Azerbaijan) on April 27 and missed three consecutive matches until the match against Brighton. He remained in London after failing to make the roster for three consecutive games, including an away game in the sixth round of the league against Manchester United and the second round of the Europa League phase against Ferencvaros (Hungary).
Tottenham has recently won five consecutive official games and has been on the rise, but the trend has been cut off on the day.
Tottenham took the lead by scoring two goals first in the first half. Brennan Johnson scored the first goal in the 23rd minute of the first half, and James Maddison scored an additional goal in the 37th minute to bring the lead.
Brighton made a counterattack in the second half. Yankuba Mintae scored a chasing goal in the 48th minute of the second half to open the scoring. Giorgio Rutter scored the equalizer in the 13th minute of the second half to balance it out. On top of that, striker Danny Welback scored a come-from-behind goal with a header in the 21st minute of the second half.
Tottenham ended up collapsing after just 20 minutes by allowing three runs. They had to launch a final offensive in the second half, but failed to tie the game as they were bound by Brighton's defense. Tottenham only had one shot on target out of seven in the second half.
Coach Postecoglou couldn't hide his anger at the performance that was completely different in the first half and the second half.
Speaking to Sky Sports of the U.K., Postecoglou said after the match, "I'm disappointed. I'm frustrated. I'm obviously angry. It's my worst defeat since I came here. It's an unacceptable second half. Nothing we should have done comes close. We've thrown away what we've been doing."
"We accepted this fate and it's hard to understand that I didn't do what I did while I was here. We paid a price. The problem is that we are traveling too smoothly. If we go too far ahead, football and life will be at stake," he added.
Postecoglou said, "I don't have a message for the players. It's our terrible loss. It's the worst loss we can get. It's the only way to fix it and it's my responsibility. We lost all the competitions, and it doesn't work unless it's combative. We haven't been combative. Most of the players have a schedule for the national team. They will proceed with things individually and I will proceed with things when everyone comes back."
According to British media 'Football London', Postecoglou continued his anger at the post-match press conference.
He said of the second half, "We didn't do what we needed to do at this level. There was no room for negotiation. We weren't combative. We didn't win the contest. We lacked toughness. We didn't do the necessary things and we paid for not doing the basic things in the game."
When asked back if his players were complacent, Postecoglou said, "I'm not sure. But I don't care if you think about it. It's irrelevant. After all, today is unacceptable. I can understand that you don't win every game. But even if you lose, you have to lose well. And it's the first time I've lost a game like this since I came here. It's unacceptable." 먹튀검증
A reporter asked if Son Heung-min and Hishalysong were the matches he missed, and Postecoglou sighed and refuted, "No. It has nothing to do with that. Totally zero."
