An exasperated Angel Postoccoou lost its cool at the post-match press conference after the Tottenham 2-0 victory against Bodo / Glimt (5-1 AGG).
Matt Law of the Telegraph, asked: “Manchester United has constantly said that this competition will not save their season – the managers have said, the players said it.
‘Would it save TottenhamThe season, is it different for Tottenham?
Then followed a dry exchange, the spurs boss is clearly exasperated by the comparison.
He retaliated with: “I don’t care – Why do I care what Man United Thinking?” Why is it relevant to me? Ask Man United Manager why he says that. I completely said that it is important.
We then asked him: “What does that mean for the Tottenham season then?”

Postcoglou overturned the question to the journalist: “You probably know better than me and I probably followed this club longer than me. What do you think that a trophy would do for this club?
“Massive” came the answer.
“Exactly, so the question answers itself,” said Postcoglou, now in a more neutral tone. But what is happening right now is that people fear that it will happen.
“Because it could happen, they think:” Let’s see how we can demolish it in one way or another, decrease it somehow saying that it was a bad season, we do not deserve this, we do not deserve this “, or in a way by comparing ourselves to Man United.”
United is 15th, with Spurs a point behind in 16th in the Premier League table after the disastrous seasons.
But silverware and a place in the Champions League next season are always a live possibility for the two parties, which will meet in the Europa League final on Wednesday May 21.
The Bilbao final will also have to offer the huge financial reward that supports the participation of the Champions League and could help inform the winner’s summer affairs.
The stakes are enormous for the two clubs, which have put their opponents in the respective semi-finals with relative ease on both legs.

Earlier this week, Arsene Wenger said: “They should once again qualify for the Europa League, but not necessarily for the Champions League.
“Especially when you are in the Premier League, where five teams are already qualified.
“I think it’s something (for UEFA) to think and revise.
Perhaps it was one of the examples of the decrease in the Europa League that Postcoglou has referred and he had answered these robust remarks.
He said: “ I have never heard that before, so … I already said, guy, Spurs does crazy things to people. This is the case, this is the case.

“You put this club in any sentence or any problem, and invariably they all go out and try to decrease as much as they can.
“Why was there no problem before and it’s a problem now?” What is the difference? I do not understand what is the difference.
“Last year, the fifth did not bring you into the Champions League, this year, this is the case. What does that mean?
“There are competition rules and the rules say that the winner enters (the Champions League). This is not the first year, and there is no asterisk against him that you also have to do something else. But it’s Spurs, they love it. They love it. Oh, they love it, you like it, don’t you?
