Ian Wright makes trophy prediction for Spurs under Postecoglou this season<\/p>\n
Ian Wright believes Ange Postecoglou\u2019s confident assertion about always winning a trophy in his second season might well come true at Tottenham.<\/p>\n
Postecoglou\u2019s lofty ambitions<\/p>\n
Unlike some of Postecoglou\u2019s predecessors at Spurs, who tended to play down the club\u2019s chances of competing with the best sides in the Premier League, the Australian has not been shy of publicly announcing his lofty ambitions.<\/p>\n
The 59-year-old even admitted that he would consider this season to be a failure if he does not guide the Lilywhites to silverware (Football.London).<\/p>\n
Ian Wright is now a believer<\/p>\n
Some will feel that the Tottenham boss is needlessly putting more pressure on himself and his players with his comments, but Wright is a fan of Postecoglou\u2019s confidence, insisting that the 59-year-old can achieve the ambitions that he has voided.<\/p>\n
The Arsenal legend told Premier League Productions: \u201cI think, if we\u2019re gonna judge him on his last result, he\u2019s confident in himself to say that [he always wins in his second seasons], and when you look at the way Tottenham play, and of course injuries are key, you could see that Tottenham side winning a trophy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Julien Laurens agreed with Wright\u2019s assessment, insisting that Tottenham can beat anyone on their day.<\/p>\n
The French football expert said: \u201cYeah, like the Europa League, since there are no teams dropping down from the big one [Champions League], I think they\u2019ll have a chance, and in the two domestic clubs as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Plan A works, like it worked yesterday, it\u2019s possible. Of course, it didn\u2019t work against Arsenal and Newcastle, but if they can do Plan A better, then they can beat anybody on the day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Postecoglou\u2019s attempts to change Spurs\u2019 culture<\/p>\n
By publicly voicing his ambitions to win silverware, Postecoglou is sending out a message to his own club and players.<\/p>\n
The Australian evidently wants to change the mentality of seeing a top-four finish as a success, which has been the case at Spurs for the best part of the last two decades.<\/p>\n
However, the media will undoubtedly try to get under his skin and throw his quotes back at him whenever there is a setback along the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
