"I lost because of my personal mistake"
Tottenham manager Angie Postecoglou expressed regret for his personal mistake after losing 2-4 away to Wolverhampton on the 13th (Korea time).
The away game on the day when Son Heung-min did not play due to a foot injury was a series of mistakes. He failed to cope with the opponent's corner kick properly and gave up the first goal to Rayan Aitnuri in 85 seconds, and was pushed back 0-1 in the 38th minute of the first half with Jed Spence's own goal. Matistel scored a comeback goal in the 14th minute of the second half to save the chase, but just five minutes later, in the 19th minute of the second half, Christian Romero's fatal defensive mistake even scored Jörgen Strand Larsen's third goal, causing the atmosphere to be at its worst. Hishalisson, who returned, shook the net in the 40th minute of the second half and followed it to 3-2 but a minute later, in the 41st minute of the second half 'Wolverhampton Ace' Matheus Cunha stole Lucas Verbal's loose pass and scored his fourth goal and poured cold water on it. The game ended with Wolverhampton's fourth consecutive win and Tottenham's 10th away defeat this season.
Media and fans blasted Captain Son Heung-min's deterioration in form and contribution to the team shortly after the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals against Frankfur, but Tottenham was worse without Son Heung-min, the team's mental pillar.
Speaking to BBC Sport after the game, Postecoglou said: "I thought we did a pretty good job, to be honest, but I allowed some disappointing goals"Unfortunately, I lost today because of an individual mistake, and I'm very disappointed. Usually, there are moments in the game where we can control well, but today we didn't, so the game was very difficult." 'All the mistakes came from the main playersIn response to the criticism that ' is correct, Postecoglou said " But I didn't do it on purpose. In particular, those two players (Vicario, Romero) are quite reliable in that situation, but today it was really hard to predict the outcome of the game because of the overlap of unusual things," he replied. "Mistakes are part of football. I will not hold anyone accountable. I'm the only one who has to take responsibility. We were punished for our mistakes today," he said, admitting defeat.
Coach Postecoglou predicted that Son Heung-min, who was absent due to a foot injury, will be able to play in the second leg of the Europa League quarterfinals against Frankfurt at 4 a.m. on the 18th (Korea time). 'Sonny couldn't play today because of his injury. Wilson replied, "I plan to manage it so that I can stay in normal shape on Thursday night."
Matistel, who scored Tottenham's first goal at Molineux on the day, urged his teammates to prepare perfectly for the away trip to Frankfurt, Germany, in an interview with the club's official 'Spurs Play'. "We can't give up. We have to learn from this situation, go back and show who we are," he said emphatically. "We have to focus from the first minute to the last minute. I wasn't lucky today. He also showed good performance, but there were many mistakes. So I lost. We have a big game next week, so we have to prepare well."
