Every Word Ange Postecoglou said on Dragusin, Van de Ven, Richarlison, Johnson and transfers

Yes, those two are the only ones. Everybody else is essentially unchanged from last week. Nothing too important, Micky. He is not going to be here tomorrow.

However, we’re pretty sure he won’t miss too much longer if his recuperation proceeds as planned over the international break. To be honest, I felt that he was right when he said it. It’s still good even though he won’t be there tomorrow. We’ll just have to wait and see how Richy does because he trained today. He will most likely be available if he arrives safely.

It made no difference to my belief. However, it kind of helps when, to be honest, I enjoy how we handled the entire day leading up to what was supposed to be a big game. It’s a challenging environment when their fans stand right beside them.

They have proven to be rather strong at home. We played effectively, managed the day incredibly well, and maintained a high level of focus, in my opinion. I saw it as just another indication of our team’s development. The players are undoubtedly happy with the result, but they also realize that it was only possible because they were totally focused on playing our football.

Would entering the Champions League help the team you work so hard to lead to advance more quickly and allow you to hire better players?

As I believe I mentioned last week, it all relies on how you take advantage of that chance. With the exception of a few games against strong opponents, nothing is guaranteed by simply qualifying for or participating in the Champions League. It’s about taking advantage of that chance to develop.

However, I doubt that we would significantly alter our off-season plans in order to bolster the club from where we are right now. We are aware of our needs. We are aware of the areas that require improvement as well as the players and profiles that we require. And regardless of how the season ends for us, that won’t alter because growth is what matters to us. It’s not enough to have a single goal, and those preparations are solid.

Radu Dragusin could make his first Spurs start tomorrow – how do you feel he complements Romero?

I’ll end the suspense here; he’ll begin work tomorrow. It’s a favorable chance for him. We brought him here with the understanding that he had had a fantastic half-season in Italy and that we were obviously very short in that area. It’s hardly unexpected that he had to wait for his chance because Micky and Cristian have been excellent for us. And he’s had to exercise patience because there is only one game per week, sometimes not even that.

And I told him that even though I couldn’t promise him when he would have a chance or when we would sign him, he would eventually receive one. When he visited the other day, I felt he did a good job.

Although the score was still 0-0 at the time, it was wonderful that the team was already playing well. He also had a part in how we ended the game. He’s a young man who exudes confidence. He believes in himself, and he is surrounded by wonderful people. He has something to offer the team, in my opinion. He is an excellent dueller and a very strong defender, and I believe we will need that tomorrow.
