Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou admitted his side had a poor start but managed to secure a comfortable win over Qarabag in their Europa League opener.
Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou said after the team’s first Europa League match of the league phase with a 3-0 victory over Qarabag from Azerbaijan that the team may not have had a good start, and Radu Dragusin was also shown a red card, forcing them to adjust their playing style. They may not be able to play as aggressively as they had to keep the ball with them. After that, the team began to wake up and play as a team, until they got the desired result.
On the other hand, Jose Mourinho, the coach of Fenerbahce from Turkey, revealed after the game in which they defeated Union Saint-Gilloise from Belgium 2-1 that when the team was leading 2-0, everyone thought the game was over. But at the end, the team conceded a penalty and we lost control of the ball, which put the team in a difficult situation. We had just lost 2 games this season, but many peo
ple said that we had lost 9 out of 10 matches. As for the question about the Mourinho effect that is still not clear with Fenerbahce, the Portuguese coach replied that the Mourinho effect is trophies and we could not win the championship in September.
