Nejsem klaun, soptil trenér Tottenhamu. Finále Evropské ligy napoví o osudu obou koučů

Narážel tím na otázku Dana Kilpatricka, redaktora deníku London Evening Standard. Kilpatrick ve svém článku tvrdil, že Australan s řeckými kořeny balancuje mezi označením hrdina a klaun.

„Jsem opravdu zklamaný, že používáte taková slova o člověku, který se bez pomoci od kohokoli za 26 let vypracoval do pozice, kdy vede klub ve finále velké evropské soutěže,“ řekl Postecoglou.

V Premier League se týmu devětapadesátiletého kouče vůbec nedaří. Před posledním utkáním Tottenhamu patří s 37 body prachbídné 17. místo.

Tedy poslední flek zaručující záchranu. Značná ostuda pro tak velkou fotbalovou značku, jakou Tottenham bezpochyby je.

Na trofej fanoušci londýnského klubu čekají dlouhých 17 let.

Postecoglou je známý svými úspěchy ve druhé sezoně. Vždyť ještě nedávno tvrdil, že ve druhém roce v roli trenéra vždycky něco vyhraje. Jeho situace v klubu je ale nejistá i v případě úspěchu v Evropské lize a s ním spojené záruky hlavní fáze Ligy mistrů.

„V takové pozici, kdy velký zápas byl mým posledním, už jsem byl. Austrálii jsem přestal trénovat, když jsme se kvalifikovali na mistrovství světa. Celtic i Brisbane po zisku titulu. To se stává,“ smířlivě hovořil.

S Tottenhamem do Španělska odcestoval i český brankář Antonín Kinský. Ač není na soupisce Evropské ligy, tak s týmem v úterý trénoval.

Ani stratég Rudých ďáblů Rúben Amorim si z případného vyhazovu nic nedělá. „Pro mě je nejlepší o tom vůbec nepřemýšlet. Je to součást mé práce,“ řekl.

Už v lednu chtěl ale podle britských médií po porážce 1:3 s Brightonem rezignovat. V kabině měl při rozvášněných gestikulacích dokonce rozbít televizi. Nakonec ho vedení klubu přemluvilo k setrvání ve funkci.

V anglické nejvyšší soutěži nasbírali hráči United pouze o dva body víc než Tottenham. Patří jim 16. příčka, se kterou v Manchesteru nemohou být spokojení.

Podle Amorima by ani triumf v Evropské lize sezonu nezachránila.

„Výhra by to byla opravdu důležitá, ale znova říkám, že to nezmění pocit ze sezony. Všichni v klubu včetně fanoušků to vědí. Může nás to ale odrazit a pomoct k lepší budoucnosti,“ dodal.

Tottenhamu se proti United daří. Tři poslední vzájemné zápasy vyhrál, šestkrát v řadě neprohrál.

Oba trenéři ale několikrát zdůraznili, že Evropská liga je úplně jiná soutěž.

She arrives here off the back of a break but was last seen putting in a gutsy display to score over this trip at Wolverhampton back in February.

Watch as Ronald Acuña Jr. smashes a monster home run off the first pitch he faced in return to MLB

Getty Images Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. announced his return to the majors in the loudest and earliest way possible on Friday night against the San Diego Padres. Against the first MLB pitch he's seen since he tore the ACL in his left knee on May 26 of last year, Acuña did this:  That's a 467-foot no-doubter that left the bat at a robust 115.5 mph, all at the expense of a Nick Pivetta fastball -- the first pitch from Pivetta that Acuña had seen in his entire career. That's Acuña's first home run since May 24 of last year, or almost exactly one year ago. This one was so special, it merited the "alternative angle" treatment:  Acuña crushed the ball during his minor-league rehab assignment, and the Braves took a conservative approach in his return to the majors. Acuña […]
