Team’s performance against a strong opponent
Ange Postecoglou said, “You’re playing a top team and you know with Villa that they’re always going to have a really strong performance because they’re very, very consistent. They rarely have off days and you’ve got to be ready for that. I thought we had to match it with them in the first half. We had to draw on their energy and make them work really hard. Obviously we conceded a goal, but I still felt like we made them work really hard in that first half.”
Tottenham’s approach and fitness during matches
Ange Postecoglou continued, “And, you know, the thing with us is we’ve got another gear in us, two or three gears and we keep going and we felt like we could really break them open in the second half if we just really stayed focused on making sure the football was up tempo and there was intensity in the game and credit to the players after a massive effort on Wednesday night, at least they know that physically they did it again.”
