“Neither pressure nor trust. That is not so important for us either. If we had lost all three games to United, we would have the pressure. The important thing is to be up to the competition. My work is to prepare players as well as possible. We know it is a great opportunity and we don't have to focus so much on our opponent.”
Ange Postecoglou, coach of Tottenham, is not from Bilbao, but it seemed today during the press conference he has offered in San Mamés prior to the Europa League final tomorrow night. The Greek coach but raised in Australia downplayed to have won the three clashes played by his team against United in this same season.
“The final is important for us. Nothing is guaranteed in life, or in sport. You have to make sure to get the most in every time. I have already been in this situation in which each game was the last and here I continue. Nothing is more important than taking this team to the victory. I have already made triplet with the Chelsea, classified to a selection for the World Cup …”.
The clear things
Posttecoglou's response obeyed the questions that linked their future in the English club to the conquest of this Europa League. “Everyone changes jobs. I focus on winning trophies and my future is not linked to anything. Not everything is reduced to football. I feel that we are building something in Tottenham and winning the trophy would serve to accelerate it.”

The coach insisted on his idea that “we want to give this club something special to our fans. The last European trophy we won 41 years ago. This is the best thing they have had for a long time. I have great confidence that I will continue here, winning trophies.”
