Can Spurs realistically win a trophy in Ange Postecoglou’s second season?
With the arrival of Ange Postecoglou, Tottenham Hotspur fans have a renewed sense of hope. As the team enters its second year under his leadership, the question on everyone’s mind is whether the Spurs can finally clinch a trophy. Mind you, Spurs have an itch that goes way back, and they are ready to let it all out!
During the first season, he introduced his version of attacking formation, bringing the excitement and enthusiasm for football back to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. There is a certain method to the madness now. Spurs do look like a different side. Remember the Chelsea game, where they went down to 9 men and still attacked Chelsea with everything they had? There is a renewed hunger.
Another thing is for certain: the second season is different from the picture as it was painted at the onset. Ange will have more time to implement his conceptions, and it will be easier for a team to play in familiar formations. The following will also represent another vital period, including the summer transfer window, which has recently shut. Still, it held immense importance for Tottenham as they continued to look to reinforce the squad – beginning with Striker and midfield areas. The Dominic Solanke addition seems like an excellent move, as they get a Premier League-proven striker to lead the line.
Another factor that may help to set Spurs’ trophy charge is their approach to cup tournaments. The English Premier League remains fiercely competitive, yet the domestic cups and, possibly, the UEFA Europa League seem more realistic for the team. With a good push in these competitions, reasonably partnered with a less difficult path in the first stage, Spurs can move deep and perhaps win the trophy.
Another factor that could boost Tottenham’s chances is the nurturing of young talents. The team’s future looks promising, with players like Destiny Udogie, Bergvall, Archie Gray, and Pape Matar Sarr in the mix. If these players can contribute effectively, it will make the team even more competitive.
So, in essence, the idea of Spurs winning the Premier League might still be a far-fetched dream, but with Postecoglou in charge, they stand a serious chance of winning a trophy in his second season. A more polished outlook, squad enhancement, and a focused attitude to cup tournaments may help end the club’s trophy drought. Also, Ange himself has said that he always wins things in his second season at the clubs he has been in.
