Tottenham's internal division came out.

Tottenham, led by coach Enze Postecoglou, lost 0-1 in the first round of the Europa League round of 16 in the 2024-2025 season against AZ Alkmaar (the Netherlands) at AFAS Stadion in Alkmaar, Netherlands, on the 7th (Korea time). On this day, Tottenham dominated the game with 62% of the possession. However, Tottenham bowed their heads in the 18th minute with Lucas Beribal's own goal. Tottenham will be able to reach the quarterfinals only if it wins the second game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 14th.

After the game, Son Heung-min told British media TNT Sports "It was a performance far from what we needed to do. I am very disappointed that we have achieved this, including myself. Next week is the most important game of the season, so it has been a big wake-up call. We didn't produce anything in the first half. It was careless, and it didn't produce the results we had to do. Everyone is very disappointed with the individual and team performance. There is no excuse. It was just a 0-1 loss. It's not finished yet. We need to be much better next week."

The problem is the team atmosphere. On the bench, a negative image was detected. British media outlet Sportsbible said: "'Tottenham fans have seen James Maddison send a message of condemnation to Postecoglou. Madison appeared to question the coach's tactics while sitting on the bench with Son Heung-min, the report said. According to the outlet, fans are "Obviously 's always the same style of play. What's that blowing?' he murmured", "The problem is that the players don't know the plan" and "they must have been discussing the worst free-kick routine" were the responses.

After the defeat, Postecoglou said "It's not a matter of effort or attitude. We don't have the right mind to challenge the European away game."

Tottenham are having the worst time. In the 2024-2025 season, he remained in 13th place with 10 wins, 3 draws and 14 losses (33 points) in 27 matches in the English Premier League. They lost to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup and were eliminated in the semifinals. Tottenham won the first leg of the semi-finals, but were completely defeated in the second leg of the semi-finals. The English Football Association (FA) Cup challenge has also ended. In fact, the Europa League is the only competition that can look to win this season. However, he was also in crisis in the Europa League, bowing his head away from the away game.

Tottenham will play an EPL match at home against Bournemouth on the 9th. Bournemouth are ranked eighth with 12 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses (43 points).
