Dejan Kulusevski defends Tottenham’s Boss of Tottenham Postcoglou and says that any side will fight with the injury crisis | Football news

Dejan Kulusevski has defended the coach under the Ange Postecoglou fire and said Spurs “pay the price” because they do not have enough players available.

The Spurs sit at the 15th at the Premier League table after Sunday’s 2-1 loss at Leicester expanded Winless Run in seven games, but Kulusevski insists that their injury crisis is the reason for bad results.

The Tottenham Injury Catalog has been stretched into double figures in recent weeks, leaving them with a yarn group for a hectic luminaire route as they compete on four fronts.

Micky van de ven is on the line to return from a Hamstring problem at Thursday’s Europa League meeting with Elfsborg but James Maddison It is the last name in the injury list with a beef strain.

Speaking in front of Elfsborg’s game, during which Spurs will look to seal their passage in the last 16, Kulusevski acknowledged that the form of the Premier League was “very bad” but insisted that the context of their absence was the key.

“The views are changing,” he said when asked about the recent criticism of the director and the players.

“I don’t hear anyone because I know the truth and I see the truth on my part. It’s not important what people say, it was never.

“The championship is very bad and the game on Sunday was hard to miss. But you have to stay clear and focus on the goals.

“We’ve made mistakes, don’t get me wrong. We’ve made a lot of mistakes.

“But we are 11 suitable players, or 10 fit players, in four competitions. This is not okay and so the team pays the price, especially in the league.

“You can see the manager. You can see the players. But I think it’s bigger than that.

He continued: “We play three games a week with nine or 10 players. This is all I have to say, it’s nothing more than that.

“I think everyone should watch the picture and wonder how we came so far. That’s.

“Yes, that’s what I say,” he added when asked if the team is not big enough.

“We are 11 players who play three games a week for a long time. I see no other team doing this, that’s the only thing we need to see.”

‘Ange is the right man for Spurs’

Kulusevski added that Postecoglou is the right man to lead Tottenham through this difficult time and agreed with his director’s claim that the Spurs could achieve “something special” this season.

“Yes, I agree with him,” he said. “Three cups, we do very well in the cups. I think we can do great things in these last four months.”

Asked why Postecoglou was the right man, Kulusevski added: “Because we had games where we presented perfect football and football, many teams in the world can’t play.

“We played beautifully against (Manchester) United, City Away 4-0 and yes we are behind him.

“I have to fight for him because I believe in this football too. Yes, he is the right man.”

Age: Pressure doesn’t affect me

Postcoglou, meanwhile, insisted that it is not affected by the recent control surrounding its future, saying it focuses on converting their form into the Premier League and continuing their pursuit of silverware in the Cup competitions.

“It doesn’t affect me,” he said. “He has never and will never do it. My opinion of my role was never for self -preservation, I am going to try to succeed.

“I am still able to do this. You suggest that there is a current comment for me at this time that is not surprising given the championship position, but I do not need to answer or get involved in it.

“I don’t care, it doesn’t affect me. What is important to me is preparing for tomorrow’s game.

“We are in a great position to achieve something really special this year. I’m going to push everyone to the club so as not to forget the fact that our potential to do something special are still there if we work our way through it.”

Postecoglou has revealed that Van de Ven will play a role against Elfsborg that has not appeared on December 8, but Maddison faces two to three weeks out with a beef executive.

Pope Matar Sarr and Yves bissouma are also available to deal with Elfsborg but Christian Romero will only come back to dispute after the Sunday League meeting with Brentford, Live On Sports.
