Frank, after two years at Celtic, on leaving last week, the only players that were still there when Ange arrived were the captain and left back. All other players brought in by Ange.. With 5 from Japan. He'll get rid of the dead wood quickly.
With Ange to come in, Spurs will have a bona fide giant similar to the effect that the great Jock Stein had when being interviewed. No doubt about that. The Spurs fans, media, and the players themselves, will see a man not simply walk in front of the press and dressing room -- his sheer presence (aura) makes it feel like he explodes into the room. Articulate, concise and sharp in his thinking. This is a man with huge personality (all the best managers have this) and a great football brain -- and woe betide any player who thinks he can do as he wants; for that player's career at Spurs will end abruptly. This is the measure of a unique man; he has an acute understanding that success begins with complete control of the dressing room. Even the media, bar none, were shit scared of Ange in Scotland, and asked their questions with obvious trepidation. That said, they all respected him. But first let's deal with the myths and the simple stats: Celtic, had a solid defence and stats to match their attacking prowess, and real defensive consistency: conceding a goal every 101 minutes -- or see it as 34 goals conceded in 38 matches (0.89 goals conceded) per match. Therefore, it is merely a myth that they concede almost as many as they score. It was similar to this in Japan and Australia. Second, Ange Postecoglou is a force of nature! Spurs fans will recognise this after the first several press conferences. However, he has the football brain to back up what he says -- including a steel-like personality who commands absolute respect from his players, opposing managers and CEO's. Significantly, he wins the loyalty and affection of the players. Third, I have, for at least a year, become convinced that Ange could easily have taken Celtic through to the knockout stages of the Champions league -- and beyond -- if given the financial resources his ambition craved for; a quarter of the Spurs player budget would have been enough to obtain European progress in the CL. Fourth: he'll have that money if joining Spurs; and he won't have to spend obscene amounts to get the players he wants. His hit rate for buying the right players ("personalities", as he puts it) is phenomenal! And as much as I don't like saying it, as a Celtic fan, if you can get hold of our two Japanese stars: Reo Hatate & Kyogo Furuhashi, and they follow Ange to London -- you'll have players to light up the English premiership. He has a brilliant eye for the right player to fit into his football "jigsaw" while he goes about doing what he loves -- and is best at -- building succesful teams. His 25 year record testifies to this abilty. Fifth: Ange is thee prime motivator of players, and leaves them with an unshakeable belief that they can beat the best -- and do it in a style of football that is beautiful to watch! The Celtic players adore him! As do the fans. There are many reasons for this adoration. It was the same in Australia, and in Japan, when he took a club that had underperformed and quickly made them Japanese champions. Unfortunately, we Celtic fans now find ourselves in the same position as the Japanese fans when Ange left their country to come to Glasgow Celtic: lamenting his loss to another team who see his potential. This begs the question: when will the Spurs fans be mourning the same loss, and to whom will they lose him? As Ange said when arriving at Celtic two years ago: "enjoy the ride" while you can. You have, I kid you not, a potential CL winner in your midst if, and only if, Levy and his board do not interfere with this man who had a Fergie-like grip on Celtic while he was here in Scotland. You're all extremely lucky to have him! After all, despite Celtic losing that tie against Real Madrid last year (the superior players like Luka Modrić eventually being the difference that pots of money can buy) Celtic were, for about sixty minutes, clearly the better team on the night in Glasgow. Who knows what would have happened after 30 minutes of the first half when our Captain hit the post from 20 yards. For Madrid simply could not get out of their own box! A testament to Ange's high octane, high press style of relentlessly hunting in packs until they recover the ball. Then recycle and attack. If he is allowed the time, Spurs fans will watch beautiful, fast and relentless attacking football; lots of goals. Your lucky number has finally came up after years of disappointment. But he will need time to get the player balance right, and the football style ingrained into the minds of the players.
As a Celtic fan you’re awful excited about him joining another club. And as for suggesting him taking Kyogo and Hatate he can fuck right off. He’s got a budget that he can pick up players from most clubs in the world. He’s away and he’ll probably end up successful but fuck him also dismantling our side when he can look elsewhere
Ange's system is heavily reliant on hard working wingers. Maeda is three players in one. His workrate is just ridiculous. He plays as a winger but closes down & chases players all over the park to win the ball back. Very important to have players willing to put in the miles at pace. Players half assing it will be out the door. There are no superstars just one team. If Spurs are going to be successfull the players need to buy in or move on.
Hopefully he moves quite a few of them on, deadwood!! We need a clear out and then to trust him. He clearly plays decent football so I'm in 100%. That's all us spurs fans want, we dont win much at all, but at least we've nearly always tried to play attacking football
@@zombievikinggaming4258Ange’s standard practice is to move on all those squad members who aren’t physically capable or willing to play his style. This will be crucial with first two transfer periods. By then a dozen players will have gone and a dozen come in. If Spurs and especially Levy don’t buy in he’ll be gone by Christmas. If they do, Spurs will be on the way to a major renaissance
As a61 year old celtic fan Ange has won me over with his style that much i will be watching spurs and hope they have success of which i am sure under Ange it will happen.
Anges 2 seasons have been my best so far as a 34 year old celtic fan. The football has been absolutely incredible and has had me grinning the full time. I hope ange smashes it in england, he is definitely a force of nature
As a Rangers fan i can only agree, im delighted hes away because i cant deny hes a great manager and one of the first celtic managers in years i actually respected.
Better than the sides Martin O'Neil built? That was a great time, a time when rangers were strong too. Hearts, Aberdeen, hibs, dundee were all competitive too
Gutted man, easily the best I’ve watched too alongside the O’Neill days but I hope he wins the lot. Fucking top guy and just hope we can find the best man to take his place
Ange is a good manager and the way he can revitalise a team is legendary. Even as a non celtic fan im sad to see him leave, the guy just understands football and he understands what it means to love a football club. His teams play excellent football and his players never stop running. The fitness he demands from his players is phenomenal
He made Yokohama F Marinos J League Champions. Reminds me of another former J League manager who went to another north London club. 😀 He is just what Spurs need.
I remember watching the 2011 A-League GF game when Ange was in charge of the Brisbane Roar. So many Brisbane fans were leaving the stadium after being 0-2 down with only minutes to go in the game. Hell, I even walked out of the pub thinking we were done. Walked 5 mins home, turned on the TV and Roar had won the bloody title. WTF. Talk about a man who makes sure his teams never give up. Good luck Big Ange!!
I’m an Aussie and I will tell Tottenham supporters they have struck gold. This guy has been a winner ever since he started coaching. Sit back give him a bit of time and just enjoy. He also has a great moral compass which makes him a good bloke also. I unfortunately barrack for Arsenal but I could be swayed to the spurs now. The good times have just begun.
I wish him well at a club which badly needs someone to come in and shake it to its core... Something tells me the Spurs players do not know what they're about to get themselves into
@@probinson6111 rattle of what nothing to see. Just a bunch of delusional spuds fans thinking this man is going to save their club. What happened to Conte and all the spuds fans singing his name during the summer, and look what happened to him. He ruin his reputation in that toilet of a stadium.
Also crappy leagues, his wage bill at celtic was massive for a Scottish club. He won't get far with spuds and will be about before Xmas. You can try as hard as you want to make shet something else but at the end of the day is still shet.
@@sebs29Stop talking nonsense mate. His entire net spend over his 2 year celtic tenure was less than £7 milion, look it up. He bought £40 million Worth of players but sold and brought £33 million. Sounds like an amazing job 👏🙌👌😀👍
@@keyboardwarriorsaint that's a lot of money for the Scottish league mate, the avg wage is £115k ten times less than the epl. Celtics and rangers bill for 2022/23) is of 23.5 and 18 million compare to other clubs in the league whose average is 3.2 million. The numbers don't lie. Celtic and rangers are the equivalent of Man city and Chelsea when it comes to spending.
@@sebs29 what you say is irrelevant. Celtic made it into the champions league generating and earning more income and also performed well against huge clubs without getting the results though. The other Scottish teams regularly lose against teams from Finland, Ireland, Wales, malta, Albania, Iceland, Czech rep, Latvia,
Great site! As a long time Aussie supporter of both Celtic and Spurs I was both devastated that Ange left Celtic but delirious that he’s going to get to work on fixing the structural problems at Spurs! Look forward to a great journey….it will be awesome, as long as he has the time and the support to d o it!
What is lost on so many here is who one of his mentors and coaches was as a player, club captain and when taking his first tentative steps in coaching… That person was none other than game legend “Ferenc Puskas”.. not many can claim that. For those of us looking on in those early years no one is surprised with where he is today!!!
Listened to every minute. I'm a spurs fan who like others Im sure, hadn't heard of Ange but now Im super excited by all the news stories on RU-vid. Wicked review 😀
As a supporter of Brisbane when Ange took charge it was amazing what he achieved. Reputations mean nothing to him! He spent time at Barcelona and Arsenal and learnt different ways to play and attacking always came first. Sometimes watching Brisbane we saw a Barcelona replica but he is not one dimensional. Spurs will enjoy their team I assure you!
@@-j308 As a Villa and Brisbane supporter from Brum now living in Queensland I had hopes Villa might get Ange when Gerrard got the arse. However Emery is an excellent 2nd choice.
Maguire is such a levy deal too he won't be able to resist it. Maguire's so shit Levy could probably get United to pay us a xfer fee to take him. He'll be creaming himself and we'll be stuck with slabhead
As a long time Tottenham fan and an Ange fan, I can't wait till the season starts. They will probably win some and lose some but at least the ones they lose they will go down fighting and not just giving up by half time.
I stated back in December on Facebook that Ange would be Tottenham manager this summer. I got called all sorts of names and comments made I can't repeat. But I was correct😂😂😂😂
He did that in J league which is a very tough league to win. Totally nominated each games even now Yokohama F Marinos fans still admiring his influence on Japanese football.
@FrancoBegbie Yokohama F Marinos with Ange won it first time in 15 years (there are no big or small teams in J league). A lot of time champion got relegated the following year. Muscat took over Ange team & remaining Ange style of football. Muscat only win 1 year (last year & all credit to him) not 2. If you think J league not competitive you don't know shit about J league
This is seriously a rebuild and Ange is the man to do it. They need to write this year off. Over half the roster won't buy into Ange Ball and he will find them and move them on as fast as possible. Kyoto and Jota and maybe 1 or 2 others can play in the PL and will speed up the process if they go with him.
Major weakness Celtic have is if they are not 3 0 ahead after 60 minutes they might struggle. Most of the players are done in after this time. If you can hold them to 0 0 after 60, you are clear favourites to win imo. This is when they got destroyed in the chamions league. In the Scottish league celtic found it to easy to destroy them in 60 minutes. Very interesting to see if this works in the premier league, where clubs are alot closer in ability.
From Australia every level success he is our greatest st Mel victory Japan Asian cup Celtic loyal as your are welcome Spurs Liverpool supp but will have second team now love Ange we are so proud
That situation was messed up with the youth teams. it was a time when the governing body was setting up the Aleague, these players literally were playing local semi pro football when in the past they wouldve been playing in the NSL. they went into qualifying tournaments unprepared. but when at the u20's he had an Aussie team beat Brazil in 2001, a Brazil team that went on to win that tournament. as of the first match v madrid with celtic, they hit the post at least twice before H/T.
only additon i can add is you talked about Australia at 2014 world cup but the year after in 2015 he won the asain cup with Australia which is a huge acheivement considering teams like Japan are much more talented and in that asain cup they had to play Heung Min Sons south Korea twice once in group and in final
A bit of balance, the Cup was in Aust and Sth Korea beat us in the group. We then beat UAE and China before Sth Korea in extra time in the final. We didn’t play Japan.
I'm an Aussie who is now a spurs fan. If Ange can be competitive in the EPL it will be an almighty story in Australian football history. I'm very excited
I love Aussie camaraderie following our fellow Aussie. But I never really disliked them until I listen to the fans having no faith in our man. I don't want Ange to fail but I sure don't want spurs to do well 😂😂
World of difference using those kind of tactics in Australia or Scotland but the Premier League is a different beast altogether and that is a concern. Add to that incomings from foreign climbs with no Prem experience.....there's another. And defenders doing anything than actually being in the defence......Not convinced. However. As ALWAYS with a new Manager at Spurs, we'll support the players even if the tactics are questionable. .....why is it fashionable to have defenders doing anything other than supporting their Goalkeeper at point of most need ?
Gday mate love the energy great insight into the team structure there, trying not to be too bias but I can’t wait to see what Ange does with spurs next season, hope he’s still there after 38 games and spurs are doing well, just not as well as Newcastle haha
Celtic clearly were nervous in front of goal against Real Madrid but the true story is that Celtic bettered Real Madrid for 60 minutes and should have been 3 nil up. The Madrid players knew they were in a game but eventually the higher quality shone through. Celtic did themselves proud though in all ther CL games but Joe Hart was terrible against Leipzig.
@@richiefumare6740 Celtic had 5 clear chance's in front of goal in the first,60 minutes. Celtic were brilliant but fell off after that. Possession isn't everything
@@microwavedave3984 Like Spurs have beaten Man City on numerous occasions with City having most of the possession. It's true, possession isn't always King and sometimes the low block counter attack is King.
The info around crossing strategy is wrong. Celtic almost never play head-intended crosses. 95/100 times they create a 3/4 man sequence in the corner that leads to a low driven square ball across the 7 yard line. When there is no opening they work back to the midfield and across, or back to the original corner.
This analysis is spot on. You forgot the role of the keeper though who often plays the role of a sweeper to the point where you have a heart attack. But who needs a heart anyway. Yolo.
U need a keeper who's got vision to see what's developing in front of him and direct his defense appropriately lots defenders pay too much attention to the man with the ball and lose sight of open attackers around them that's when a great keeper comes into play it's like a maestro directing the orchestra
Great to see someone actually speak sense about him that clearly knows about football instead of some clown from Wigan who thinks his man could score 20 goals a season in Scotland. Very refreshing
As an Arsenal fan and an Aussie, Ange will be a great appointment. He’ll get rid of the dead wood, won’t play defensive football, and will bring in the hardest working players (aka Japanese players). It’s exactly what Tottenham need at this point in time
Ange will do good wherever he goes its a sad loss yet again for Celtic losing a good manager and players to mediocre prem teams, but at a club like spurs and a chairman like levy who sees the club as a business over winning anything and just raking in the sky money year on year can Ange really make that much of a difference
I hope our fans give him a chance , it hasn’t worked with all the glamorous managers b4 , maybe someone who takes no shit and plays attacking “the spurs way” football. And if it doesn’t work what difference . Most importantly they need to give him time, manu gave Ferguson time , I know they nearly sacked him but they didn’t and a legend was forged. Unless we do get hammered 10-5 for the first 8 games then , well
Interesting. I might b e the only person here who saw Ange in his playing days with Sth Melbourne; he was a number 6 left half defender. Not a playmaker. More old school. That makes it interesting that he's developed such a hyper press attacking philosophy.
Spurs fans will have to embrace transition, change won't happen overnight. If they're willing to sacrifice immediate results and get behind the "project" (I know, I know), good times could be coming back for them.
Well I’m watching too many videos telling me Ange is the second coming so obviously I’m now getting too excited. I think it’s a good appointment, the fact he is a 4yr contract suggests that Ange has mad clear to the lunatic Levy that it will take time which also suggests he is aware he can not try and implement his tactics fully with our current squad because teams will pick us off pretty easily. I reckon 2 years and 4 transfer windows to get the players in and train them in the system and then in 3rd year we’ll be ready to see if his tactics will work on EPL. I really hope this works out as I’ve had enough of Levy and ENIC and was about to give up on Tottenham until they got new owners. This is Levy’s last chance IMO. Guys had made too many bad decisions and appointments since stabbing Pochettino in the back.
The current spurs players won’t know what’s hit them, half will be culled and the other half will be whipped into shape. The spurs fans don’t know it yet but (if he’s given time and support) he’s the best thing that’s ever happened to your club. All the best and will be keeping an eye out for your results from now on 🍀
Appreciate the sentiments but as a Spurs fan we are fully aware of this philosophy of football and most of us supporters dare to dream this as Poch Mk II.
I hope Ange enjoys the cheese room. Expect drastic squad changes, a slow start to the season, a bunch of people calling for his head, and then some big results, along with aggressive no nonsense interviews. As the big man said when he started at Parkhead, Enjoy the Ride, Spurs fans.
Spurs fan here…I can’t wait to see big Ange’s brand of attacking football but the thought of being so exposed at the back, with our current players, TERRIFIES ME! 😂
That's going to make your ride even more exciting. Just hang on and enjoy. If the players are not up for it they won't be on the park.. Cheers from Aus.
Tottenham don't have the squad to play his system so he has a lot of work to do, Spurs are essentially building from scratch. Harry Kane also is not the type of striker that fits ange's system as he likes more of a hard working pressing forward so it will be interesting to see if Kane adapts to that role or if they just end up selling him
Kane will adapt to anything, he is a super player, highly intelligent and can do whatever is required of him to the highest standard. He's proven to be a hard worker, ready to run for the team, but of course Ange is not going to put him doing a donkey work, that would be too stupid. Kane is as important for Tottenham as Messi was for Barcelona.
He will face the same issue that Ten Hag is facing at United. Both teams have players who do not care and do not play for the badge. He wont be able to implement his possession/high line tactics unless he signs a bunch of players or uses youth
He is ruthless, if they dont have the right mentality or dont fit into his system, they will be sold. Kane will be gone and it wont matter a single bit
@@spiderbootsy You cant be ruthless with Levy behind you. Like i said he will face the same problem because the board will try to decide who goes or stays like at United. They wont care if the coach does think any of the players fit into his system, they will simply tell him to make it work
@@mr.increediblle7964 Ange would never have taken the job if that were the case. He needs particular players to fit his system and would have had assurances from Levy that he will be backed. Half your team will be sold and replaced by the end of the window. including Kane
@@spiderbootsy Do you think Levy didnt give Conte and Mourinho assurances before they took the job. These guys are world class coaches who would demand signings and you would have to be foolish as a CEO of a club to say you wont sign anyone. Leopards do not change their spots. Levy will make signings but it will be like 5th choice of the manager because he is trying to make money. Spurs is ran like a business, not a footballing club.
Ange had The Great Ferenc Puskas (Real Madrid & Hungary Legend) as a mentor for a number of years & they had a close personal relationship…that’s like having Pelé or Maradona as your mentor…
Well, he'll either confirm he's a genius or Spurs will make him look stupid. Popcorn out either way. Can't wait to see him get rid of the egos and get the players in that have their heads screwed on.
Interesting video but it worries me as a Tottenham fan If Spurs play like that we will get pumped so often I can see the likes of Zaha ,Salah ,Foden ,Grealish Saka tearing down the flanks unchallenged laying the ball off to unchallenged forwards. If in the long term we become a winning team getting ripped into bantered every week in the short term will be worth it. Whether there is any long term gain for short term pain however remains to be seen.
mate ange is an aussie legend i literally could not be happier about this appointment this is exactly what we need and the direction we need to be moving. spot on appointment.
First 3 months will be crucial. If Spurs fans shut up moaning and just watch what he's doing with the primma donnas and the shirkers, then they'll give him enough time to eviscerate the squad of all the deadbeats and get in players hungry for success and who'll believe 100% in his style. 10 games in you'll be able to judge. If it comes off, you'll be buzzing, the team will be buzzing and there'll be a trophy at the end of the season; he energises natural born winners.
