Enze Postecoglou's replacement is close. This is because it resulted in a disappointing draw with Frankfurt in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals. As the next second game will be played at home in Frankfurt, multiple points were important in this game.
Tottenham, however, managed to score just one goal again with a poor attack. Tottenham will be eliminated from the Europa League if they lose the second leg next week. Postecoglou's replacement could be similar.
Coach Postecoglou was not disappointed with the draw after the first Europa League match against Frankfurt on the 11th (Korea time).
"Now I accept that the soccer gods are not looking at us this year," Postecoglou said. "They seem busy with other clubs and managers now. I think we'll just have to get through it without their help."
"I'm a little disappointed with the result, but I think the overall performance was great for all the players," Postecoglou said"The first run was disappointing, but after that it was very good. We controlled the game" he insisted.
On his performance in the second half, Postecoglou said he was satisfied.
Postecoglou added "We scored a good equalizer, and we thought we could put more pressure on him in the second half because he made the opponent very difficult from the first half."That's actually what happened, and the players did everything they could."

He also mentioned bad luck in the goal.
"We hit the crossbar three times, and the opposing goalkeeper made a really ridiculous good defense," he said. "There were many other good opportunities. If it had been another day, it would have been enough to win." "If we can show the same performance next week, we still have a good chance."," he added.
Tottenham drew 1-1 against Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on the same day.
Tottenham allowed opposing striker Hugo Ekitike to score the first goal in the sixth minute of the first half. The problem was that defenders did not respond actively while shooting with Ekitike's personal skills.
Tottenham, who later came to their senses, led the game and scored an equalizer. It was defender Pedro Porro who scored.
Madison, who received Son Heung-min's pass from the left side in the 26th minute of the first half, connected a low and fast cross to the prisoner in front of the goal. Porro scored the goal with a witty backheel shot.
In the second half, the two teams exchanged fierce battles.
In the 10th minute of the second half, Beribal, who caught the ball in the center, dribbled forward and fired a powerful mid-range shot from the right side of the penalty arc. The shot hit the post and popped out.
Soon after, a decisive scene came out for Son Heung-min.
Solanke, who caught the ball in the penalty box in the 11th minute of the second half, connected the pass to Son Heung-min on the left. Son Heung-min hit the center and attempted a winding shot. It was a trajectory heading to the corner of the goal, but was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper.
Since then, both teams have failed to break the balance of the game. The game ended in a draw. The two teams will play in the second round of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals on the 18th. It is not expected to be an easy schedule for Tottenham as it is an away game.
