Ange Postecoglou has sworn not to be distracted by uncertainty about his future in Tottenham and has no problems with Mauricio Pochettino who dreams of a return to work.
“I know what my responsibilities are,” Postecoglou said to Chelsea prior to Thursday's trip.
'I am sure that if the club decides to go in a different direction, there are a number of excellent candidates for it. And you know what, maybe someone will think: “Ah Ange Postecoglou is not a bad coach, maybe we take a point on him”.
“It doesn't rock my world. It doesn't consume me. I am here, I am passionate about what we do. I was brought in to change the way in which the club plays, the team rejuvenates, brings success, I was focused on that. That is what I will continue to do. '
Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola, Brentford's Thomas Frank and Fulham's Marco Silva belong to those associated with the Baan van Postecoglou since his team in Fulham lost during their last outing for the international break.
Pochettino, dismissed by Spurs in 2019 six months after they led them to the Champions League final, and now the US leadership, said last month that he hoped he could return one day and complete unfinished things.
“Mauricio, if he wants to come back one day, I hope it happens for him,” said Postecoglou. 'We all have dreams and ambitions, and if that is what he wants.
“I don't feel respected. If you ask Mauricio that question directly, you would get a fairly clear answer about what his intention was. Again, nothing of me to be digested. I am more focused on trying to ensure that we win tomorrow night. '
Tottenham yearn in the 14th in the Premier League after a disappointing campaign, with all hope for the season that is declining at the Europa League. They are confronted with Eintracht Frankfurt in a quarterfinals, from next week, but first they travel through London to communicate with fierce rivals from Chelsea.
“We understand the importance of the luminaire,” said Postecoglou. 'They are a good side, especially at home. They are a difficult team to beat. We will have to perform at our best to overcome them, but it is a big challenge for us. As I said, we must try to build some momentum in the rest of the season and end up in a positive way. When we go to Chelsea, we know that we have to play well to beat them. '
