Liverpool head coach Arne Slot had glowing remarks on Ange Postecoglou's setup.

Liverpool boss Ange Slot swung in defence of his fellow manager, Ange Postecoglou, as he backed him for success at Tottenham, especially in the Europa League. 

Postecoglou's struggles 

The former Australia national team boss had a fast start at Tottenham; however, it also petered out and could only manage a Conference League finish last term. 

The inconsistencies with Tottenham have continued this season, and this has attracted criticism for Postecoglou. The Lilywhites play Liverpool this weekend and have drawn them in the EFL Cup semi-final.

Ahead of the match this weekend, Slot praised Tottenham and Postecoglou's methods, which have often been criticised for being too adventurous. He said he enjoyed watching Tottenham and is confident they will win a trophy soon. 

What Slot said 

"People talk about trophies, trophies, trophies and that is so important. For me, his brand of football is so much more important,” Slot told reporters. 

"If he can combine it with winning something, that would be so good for football in general because then people can stop talking about 'is it too attacking?' How on earth can you play too much attacking football?

"I think it is a privilege to be a season ticket holder at Tottenham and to be a fan of them at the moment because they play such a great style.”
