Attend the pre-Premier Press Conference away against Newcastle, Postkoglu, who was the coach of Nottingham Forest, had lost six games in the last six games and talked about the rumors surrounding his dismissal.
Talking about whether my coaching position is stable
"In modern football, coaches are always under pressure. This is a reasonable speculation and the norm of our work, so I don't think so. Let's put it this way, I knew I was going to be dismissed three or four months before being fired by Tottenham, but this did not stop me from leading the team to win trophies, so these things will not affect me. My responsibility is to make sure that the club continues to make progress and reach the level of being able to compete for trophies. If I start setting time limits for myself, or worrying about what happens next week, it means that I have not fulfilled my duties well, which will not help any of us. Ultimately, I must focus on the current, training and competition of the team, and I still firmly believe that we are not far from our goal. . "
Talking about the Europa League's home loss to the Danish team, Jutland
"The mood is still very heavy now, but this is the reality of football, we must prepare for the next game. We have reviewed this game and conveyed my opinion to the players. The most important thing now is to prepare for the tough battle against Newcastle on Sunday."
Talking about the adjustments needed to return to the winning track "We are not good enough to handle critical moments in the game, and the first goal to concede against Jutland was due to a major mistake in set-piece defense. Although we equalized the score for a while, we immediately got a set-piece opportunity after the opponent kicked off, and we dealt with it improperly again. We frequently fell into the situation of chasing points, and although we created some opportunities, we did not grasp these decisively The problem we need to solve is multifaceted. "
Talk about the content of the conversation with the players
"The players seem to have a mentality that they must be punished before they can start to go all out. We performed poorly at critical moments of the game, which changed the outcome of the game. We must face feedback honestly, and there is no need to cover up the opportunities we missed in the past few games. We could have been in a better position to deal with the critical moments of the game with a completely different attitude. If we just accept the status quo or rely on the hope that the situation will change itself, I think this will not work, and the players are very clear about my view on this issue. "
Talk about the changes made in the six games after taking office
"If anyone doesn't see the change, I was surprised. The results aside, I know what the final measure is, but there are many signs that we have changed the basic way of doing things. We are still in the stage of understanding the players and we need time to make changes. If someone thinks it will be overnight, I would be very surprised. Since the record has not improved, people always question whether these changes are effective. If the reason is to be pointed out, not because of the style change, but because of the lack of concentration at the critical moment. "
Talk about away game Newcastle
" It will be a very difficult game, and if we can get good results on the road, it will undoubtedly boost the morale of the team and make us believe that we can turn the situation around, and I am looking forward to it."
