O Tottenham ousa fazer sob o comando de Ange Postecoglou – e os torcedores podem se orgulhar da derrota para o Chelsea
O Tottenham foi bem derrotado no final de um encontro épico no N17, mas esteve no jogo até a morte e manteve-se fiel ao seu estilo
7 de novembro de 2023 7
Os torcedores do Tottenham levantaram-se e aplaudiram ao apito final. Seu time havia acabado de ser derrotado por 4 a 1 por um de seus rivais mais ferozes no clássico de Londres. E no banco de reservas do Chelsea estava seu ex-técnico, Mauricio Pochettino, retornando ao N17 pela primeira vez. Mas eles não sentiram falta dele nem um pouco.
Spurs finished the game with just four of their starting XI on the pitch. Cristian Romero and Destony Udogie both picked up red cards, while Micky van de Ven and James Maddison were lost to injury. Yet Ange Postecoglou's side were still in the match until the 94th minute.
Down to nine men and with both of their centre-backs forced off, Tottenham stayed true to their style as Postecoglou's high defensive line remained. It might have seemed naïve or even reckless – but it gave them a chance. With nine men on the pitch, Eric Dier saw a volley ruled out for offside following a set piece. From another, the returning Rodrigo Bentancur missed with a header from inside the six-yard box. And in the 93rd minute, Son Heung-min's shot was saved at full stretch by Robert Sanchez following a quick break.

O Chelsea então subiu pelo outro lado e marcou o terceiro. E os Blues marcaram outro aos 97 minutos, garantindo uma grande vitória para os visitantes. Mas o placar não contou a história em mais um final dramático no Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
O Spurs garantiu o último retorno em Liga Premiada history as they came back from a goal down to beat Sheffield United 2-1 with goals in the 98th and 100th minutes in September. And against Liverpool later in the month, Postecoglou's side sealed victory in the 96th minute against the Reds' nine men.
It didn't work on Monday night, but sitting back might have brought the same result. Under Nuno Espirito Santo, Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, it certainly didn't bring much joy.

Postecoglou não havia perdido nos últimos 52 jogos em casa como treinador. O Tottenham não havia sido derrotado durante toda a temporada no Liga Premiada. Ambos os recordes foram conquistados na segunda-feira, mas o Tottenham ganhou muito crédito na derrota para o Chelsea.
“It's just who we are and who we are going to be as long as I am here. We go down to five men, mate and we will have a crack,” the Australian said after the game when asked why he did not instruct his team to defend deeper.
The Tottenham manager also refused to criticise the officials' decisions following a weekend which saw Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta vent his anger at Newcastle United's goal in the Gunners' 1-0 loss at St. James' Park and Spurs' north London rivals release a statement supporting the Basque.

“In my 26 years, I was always prepared to accept the referee's decision good, bad or otherwise,” Postecoglou said. “And I've had some shockers in my career, let me tell you. I've had some go my way as well.”
Romero e Udogie provavelmente podem ter poucas reclamações sob as leis do jogo agora e ambos flertaram com os vermelhos no início do jogo também. Nos bastidores, Postecoglou provavelmente falará com ambos, já que suas ações custaram caro à equipe na segunda-feira.
O argentino agora estará suspenso por três partidas e perderá os jogos contra Wolves, Aston Villa e Manchester City. Udogie também será suspenso para a viagem a Molineux no próximo sábado, enquanto Van de Ven ficará afastado dos gramados por algumas semanas, pelo menos depois de uma distensão no tendão da coxa, e Maddison precisará ser avaliado por causa de um problema no tornozelo.
It is early November and Spurs' short squad is already set to be tested following Monday's epic encounter, but there is a togetherness in this group and a communion with the fans which has not been seen for a long time in N17.

O Tottenham perdeu uma partida na segunda-feira, mas manteve-se fiel aos seus princípios ofensivos. É o que os fãs desejam há muito tempo e é por isso que adoram o Postecoglou.
É fácil esquecer que este era um clube em desordem após a demissão de Conte no início deste ano e abalado pela venda de verão do seu maior goleador, Harry Kane, o otimismo não era grande antes da nova temporada.
Mesmo assim, os Spurs estão a apenas um ponto da liderança após 11 partidas e, sob o comando de Postecoglou, estão jogando o futebol mais emocionante que esses torcedores já viram em anos.
Apesar da derrota na segunda-feira, os torcedores podem estar extremamente orgulhosos de seu time. E mesmo que ocorra uma queda na forma com vários jogadores eliminados, eles podem ficar extremamente entusiasmados com o que vem a seguir.
