Ange Postecoglou said just 80 words in his speech during the Europa League victory parade, but almost every single one of those was greeted with a roar from the Tottenham supporters in attendance.

The 1-0 victory against Manchester United on Wednesday evening ended a 17-year wait without a trophy. Just under 48 hours later, all the players and staff got to celebrate their success with an open-top bus parade that ended at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

On the way to their home ground, which still has to host their final Premier League game of the season against Brighton on Sunday, Postecoglou was interviewed on SPURSPLAY and YouTube where he discussed winning a trophy, the performance in Bilbao and how the group was brought closer.

“It’s unbelievable,” he began when asked what it meant to win silverware. “As much as you try to understand what a trophy would mean to these people, seeing them out there today, is why we do what we do. That’s the priceless bit, for this feeling. I’m super pleased that these boys could deliver.

“All good things come through hard work, toil, perseverance and belief. This group have that in spades and I’m so pleased that we could crack that stone and now everyone can enjoy it.

“We had to dig deep, for sure, but what the history books will say is that we’re the Europa Cup winners and it doesn’t say how we did it, just that we did it.

“I made family a theme from when I got here because I felt that we needed something to bring us all together and look further than just what everybody wanted. We had to form some sort of unity and the lads have been brilliant. They’ve shared their stories and got closer through the tough times like all families and now they share the reward.”

The 59-year-old was back on the mic 30 or so minutes later on an elevated platform in front of thousands and he went on to deliver a rousing speech.

“I told them and they laughed,” he admitted seemingly referencing his bold claim about winning a trophy in his second season.

“I told them and they didn’t believe but here we are and we are here because of this unbelievable group of players and staff, who are absolute heroes, led by the legends Son Heung-min, Cuti Romero, James Maddison and Guglielmo Vicario.”

“All of them [are] heroes and they did it for you because you deserve it. This club deserves it. I’ll leave you with this, all the best television series – season three is better than season two.”

Unsurprisingly, that final statement was greeted by an almighty roar with Postecoglou then returning to the back of the stage and allowing his players to enjoy the celebrations.
