This is what Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou said.
Tottenham lost 1-2 in two Coupang Play Series games against Bayern Munich (Germany) at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 3rd. Tottenham was shaken by losing points in four minutes in the first half and 10 minutes in the second half. In the 21st minute of the second half, Pedro Porro scored to chase but failed to reverse the victory. Tottenham had one win and one loss in their two matches in South Korea. In the match against Team K League held on the 31st of last month, he won 4-3.
After the game, Postecoglou said "It was quite a difficult game. He conducted quite intense training in Korea for 10 days. I think that condition appeared on the ground. I had a hard time because the process of making it in the training came out. But I think all this process, the game, will be very helpful in playing the season. In the first half, he couldn't show a sharp appearance due to his heavy physical condition. I feel like I trained well ahead of the opening. I think I'll be able to show a good appearance."
Tottenham's Asia tour is over. Tottenham previously clashed with Vissel Kobe in Japan and won 3-2. After that, he came to Korea and played two games.
Postecoglou said "I've said consistently, but it was important for us to build a team through training for 10 days. I've brought up a lot of stamina. I think the players will gain a lot and go back with these training and games for 10 days. In particular, I think I have firmly laid the foundation physically. There were some good parts, but there were some parts that needed to be supplemented. It is a situation that has strengthened physical strength. I have to go back and fill it up. Two or three people couldn't join. Can you absorb it quickly, I have 2 weeks left and I will prepare well. I will tell you that the 10-day process was quite important."
The following is a Q&A session with Postecoglou.

▶It was a very difficult game. He conducted quite intense training in Korea for 10 days. I think that condition appeared on the ground. I had a hard time because the process of making it in the training came out. But I think all this process, the game, will be very helpful in playing the season. In the first half, he couldn't show a sharp appearance due to his heavy physical condition. I feel like I trained well ahead of the opening. I think I'll be able to show good performance.
-Evaluation of young players such as Lucas Veribal.
▶I think it's not enough to evaluate the players overall. We played the game through intense training. It is difficult to evaluate skills and performance in a cold manner. I appreciate trying to show everything in my current physical condition. It is positive that he showed this against Kang's team. He showed better performance in the second half. It seems that we showed higher energy by putting in new players while both teams were tired. I think positively. Veribal and others are young players, but they appreciate it for trying to show good performance.
-How do you evaluate the game when you played while changing your position. What do you think about squads.
▶I think each player should play in different positions sometimes. There must have been difficulties. Overall, what we can evaluate is whether they play as a team. Sometimes I can't evaluate it coldly, but what I could confirm is positive. Skip and others played in positions other than his main position. I think it is necessary to analyze and think about how to use it before the season.
-What needs to be supplemented before the opening.
▶I've told you consistently, but it was important for us to build a team through training for 10 days. I've brought up a lot of stamina. I think the players will gain a lot and go back with these training and games for 10 days. In particular, I think I have firmly laid the foundation physically. There were some good parts, but there were some parts that needed to be supplemented. It is a situation that has strengthened physical strength. I have to go back and fill it up. Two or three people couldn't join. Can you absorb it quickly, I have 2 weeks left and I will prepare well. Let me tell you that the 10-day process was quite important.
-With some of the main defense missing, he has conceded seven goals in the last three games.
▶Pre-season preparation is very important. Three of the main defenders failed to join. I also knew about this and prepared it. What matters is the process, how well you prepare. When the season approaches, it is perfect. There are no points in a friendly match. I don't care about the result. In the process, how hard we prepare for the season, we trained really well for 10 days. I think I can think positively and prepare for the season.
-What was your impression of Korea. Advantages for Korean players.
▶I think I was lucky to live in East Asia. I came to understand the culture of countries a little better. I think I also had a good relationship with the players. In particular, the Korean players were well prepared for the technical aspects, both mentally and physically. I prepared well and felt like I was going out to Europe. There are many Korean players who play in high-quality leagues in Europe. It paved the way for me a lot. I think a new generation of young players will be able to advance to Europe. They are also getting more and more complete. I think more players will be able to play.
