"I thought my feet were really good until the first half...."
Tottenham manager Angie Postecoglou actively covered the mistake with an honest evaluation of goalkeeper Fraser Foster, who made fatal pass-miss and build-up mistakes in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals against Manchester United.
Tottenham led 3-0 in the first 15 minutes of the quarterfinals against Manchester United in the English Carabao Cup at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 20th (Korea time), thanks to Dominic Solanke's multi-goal in the 9th minute of the second half, and Dejan Klusevski's net goal in the 1st minute of the second half, before dedicating two goals in the 18th minute of the second half and the 25th minute of the second half due to goalkeeper Fraser Forster's dizzying build-up mistake. In the 17th minute of the second half, immediately after Fraser hit Zirkzi's sharp header with his fingertips to make a super save, Bruno Fernandes snatched the pass that was headed for Dragucin during the build-up process in the 18th minute of the second half and faced a dizzying moment. He dedicated the goal to Girksey's toes. 3-1. An incredible mistake from goalkeeper Fraser again in the 25th minute of the second half. Again, during the build-up process, Diallo, a touch miss, quickly snatched the ball and pushed it in. In seven minutes, the goalkeeper gave up two goals by mistake. It was 3-2 in an instant. They were chased by one goal.
Foster played an outstanding role in six games immediately after the injury of the main goalkeeper Vicario this season, but he showed his vulnerability by dedicating two goals on the day. Whenever the ball flowed backward, both teams' fans' screams and shouts coexisted.
In the 42nd minute of the second half, Son Heung-min's fresh corner kick goal saved Frazier and Tottenham. foretell a comfortable 3-0 win After 25 minutes in the second half, Foster's unstable play made him nervous 'horror show'. It was a nerve-racking match. Football London gave the lowest rating of two points among the players, saying, `It was a regrettable night that Foster, who recently showed good performance, changed the momentum of the 3-0 and one-sided lead on the day.'
Postecoglou told Sky Sports shortly after the game that `he looked like he would manage the game well, but there were also two unfortunate moments. The first affected Fraser and the second situation also came out as a result. But we scored our fourth goal with our determination"He praised the fighting spirit of the players who overcame the crisis." "I liked the whole game. Wasn't it fun for you, too?"Mistakes are part of football and mistakes can always happen," Postecoglou said" wrapped around it.
Asked about the back build-up, which he made a series of mistakes in his official press conference, Postecoglou said "It's happened a few times in 26 years, but I've always felt that the advantages of the back build-up are much greater than the disadvantages. Such moments are rare, but as you saw today, when they happen, they are bound to stand out, and they happened twice today. I think the first mistake for Fraser also affected the next one," he replied.
"I don't think I could have been the team I am now if I hadn't maintained my conviction in my beliefs. People would say 'Don't take risks', but then they wouldn't have been able to score four or five goals'" and "Scoring goals is the hardest thing in football, and we're doing it naked. I think the credit of our players is immense for showing this level of performance", he expressed his faith.
Asked repeatedly about Frazier's mistakes, Postecoglou said "It would be disappointing because he was an outstanding player for our team. I thought my feet were really good until the first half, and I also found a solution. Perhaps the first mistake had a slight effect on his confidence, I think he lost a little faith, and the second mistake made it more complicated, he analyzed the psychological factors. "But he's a big man. Friend who played a big role for us during this difficult period..." he said, expressing his intention not to dwell on the mistakes of the day. "I really appreciate these players. Ten players in our squad were absent tonight for one reason or another. "I want to praise Manchester United for maintaining our level of football, not just playing the game at a time when we have a day off less than Manchester United and we can't even rotate the squad the way we want it to be like other clubs." "As I've said over and over again, we're going to have a smoother period one day, but through this period, we're going to have tremendous growth."
