Salah Would Face Challenges at Spurs - Postecoglou

Tottenham Manager Postecoglou Talks Salah and Team Performance

Tottenham's manager, Ange Postecoglou, shared insights on the team's current struggles and the impact even a player like Mohamed Salah would have in their challenging situation.

Struggles Against Liverpool

As Spurs prepare to face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final, Postecoglou acknowledges the difficulties they face. Despite Salah's impressive form, the Spurs boss doubts that even a player of his caliber could significantly change their fortunes.

"Mo is a world-class player, but if you put him in our team now I'm not sure he'll have that same level of performance because of the situation we're in as a group," said Postecoglou.

Challenges Faced by Spurs

Postecoglou emphasizes the importance of a cohesive team dynamic, solid defense, and attacking opportunities for a player like Salah to thrive. These elements are currently lacking in the Spurs team, impacting their overall performance.

Despite the struggles, Postecoglou remains optimistic about the team's potential, highlighting the commitment and effort of players like Son Heung-min.

Son Heung-min's Contribution

Postecoglou praises Son Heung-min's dedication and goal-scoring ability, noting that his performance may not reflect his true potential given the team's current situation. Comparing Son to Salah, the manager believes that in a different team setup, Son's impact would be more evident.

"It's hard for our players at the moment, they're trying awfully hard to be the best they can be," Postecoglou added.

Contract Extension for Son

Spurs received a boost with the news of Son Heung-min's contract extension until 2026, securing the services of the prolific forward for the foreseeable future.

Postecoglou remains hopeful that with improved team dynamics and performance, players like Son can showcase their true abilities and make a significant impact on the pitch.
