Losing against Chelsea, it becomes increasingly difficult for Tottenham to qualify for the Champions League

Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – Coach Ange Postecoglou stated that Tottenham Hotspur had lost confidence in advancing to the Champions League next season after suffering a 0-2 defeat to Chelsea on Friday (3/5/2024) early morning WIB,

Postecoglou's troops need a win at Stamford Bridge to close the gap on Aston Villa who are in fourth place in the race for the top four in the Premier League.

However, Spurs suffered their third defeat in a row after goals from Trevor Chalobah and Nicolas Jackson gave Chelsea victory. Currently, Tottenham is in fifth position with a difference of seven points from Villa, with four matches remaining.

Postecoglou said: “That is not enough and I have to take responsibility for that.”

“I am their coach and I am the one who put them on the field, but the results are not as expected. When we perform as we did in the first half, it means my message was not conveyed,” said the coach from Australia.

The former Celtic coach admitted that there were problems in his team's defense, especially in dealing with dead ball situations. However, overall, he realized that his team's performance was disappointing.

“It's not just about conceding the first goal, but also about our approach to playing football being unsatisfactory,” he said.

Postecoglou stated that his team had experienced difficulties in recent times and that was part of the challenges in the world of football. Tottenham, he said, have to show up and play well, and have to work hard. He admitted that his team performed badly against Chelsea.

Tottenham will face Liverpool, Burnley, Manchester City and Sheffield United in the last four Premier League matches this season.
