“The biggest challenge for Enze Postecoglou will be to change the culture of Spurs.

What is it about Tottenham’s deep-rooted culture that keeps getting repeatedly mentioned?

The Evening Standard, a British media outlet, reported on Nov. 13 that “the biggest challenge for Enze Postecoglou will be to change the culture of Spurs.

This is something that was said under his predecessor, Antonio Conte. Spurs, who haven’t won any major trophies since the 2008 League Cup, have been criticized for having a problematic locker room.

‘Tottenham’s collapse at Brighton raised a familiar and uncomfortable question,’ says the Evening Standard. Postecoglou will be pondering them during the international break.

After a five-match unbeaten run in all competitions, Spurs were 2-0 up at half-time against Brighton in the seventh round of the Premier League before falling to a 2-3 defeat.

The Evening Standard said: ‘Spurs moved towards a sixth straight win in all competitions but had a dreadful second half. Postecoglou criticized Spurs’ competitiveness and lack of fight, accusing his players of not doing the basics. It was probably the most depressing press conference so far. Postecoglou didn’t seem particularly angry, describing him as “just disappointed”.

The outlet reminded Conte that he had similar issues.

‘It could be compared to Conte’s last game in charge of Tottenham, when he called his players selfish,’ said the Evening Standard. Conte’s was more extreme, but it was the same in that it raised fundamental questions about the players’ mental state.

‘When managers blame something intangible, 안전놀이터 such as the attitude of their players, it is often to cover up their own shortcomings, or simply because they find it difficult to explain shocking results,’ says the Evening Standard. Almost every modern Spurs manager has detected some kind of vulnerability at the club’s core,’ he added, pointing out that it’s not just the Spurs managers who are to blame.

Postecoglou has been more innovative than Conte in his approach, but he still feels limited.

‘Postecoglou wanted to change the culture by changing the people,’ says the Evening Standard, ‘and he pushed for a massive reshuffle. Of the players who played against Brighton, only four had played under Conte. Nevertheless, if Postecoglou’s assessment is correct, Tottenham still have the same problems.

‘Of course, there are two groups that Postecoglou can’t change.

The club hierarchy and the supporters. Both have been accused of not wanting to win enough in recent times. Chairman Daniel Levy, in particular, has long faced accusations of creating the wrong culture at Spurs. ‘Spurs supporters even wanted Tottenham to lose to Man City at the end of last season to prevent Arsenal from winning the title,’ the Evening Standard reported.

The Evening Standard said: ‘For all the talk of Postecoglou’s ultra-aggressive formation, the Brighton game was a reminder that it is harder to change a culture than it is to change play. The Spurs look like a great team at times, but they still feel like a team that doesn’t take itself seriously. Postecoglou concluded that the biggest challenge for the club is not playing attacking football, but instilling a winning mentality in everyone associated with the club.
