Tottenham Hotspur will welcome a strong Liverpool team at home in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final. On the eve of the match, Tottenham's head coach Postecoglou appeared at a press conference to give an in-depth analysis of the team's current situation and future blueprint.
Postecoglou admits that despite the team's shortcomings in the lineup, the players are fully focused on preparing for the crucial battle of destiny. He revealed that the return of Bentancur has energized the team, however, the suspensions of Madison and Sarr have also left the team slightly stretched in terms of formation. However, Mickaye Moore is expected to make the bench and the rehabilitation of Dragussin and Archie Gray will also provide the team with more tactical options. It is worth noting that Kulusevski's fitness issues have been properly dealt with and he is expected to feature in the game.
Talking about the team's future strategy, Postecoglou revealed that the club is actively seeking ways to improve the team's strength, which includes bringing in new blood. He particularly emphasized the goalkeeper position, saying that the club has done its best to bring in a new goalkeeper, which will significantly enhance the team's defensive capabilities. At the same time, he expressed great affirmation and expectation for Sun's contract renewal, seeing him as the mainstay of the team.
Facing the upcoming match against Liverpool, Postecoglou said that he is well aware that it will be a tough match, but Tottenham Hotspur is ready for anything. He emphasized that the team must seize the home advantage to lay a favorable foundation for the next two rounds. At the same time, he also has full confidence in the young players, believing that they have excellent strength and potential to contribute more to the team.
