Ange ‘delighted’ with Romero International Action
Postecoglou also said that he was ‘pleased’ that defender Cristian Romero could be seen twice before Argentina in international duty, despite only recently returning to action for Spurs.
“I was very happy, size. If he can pass two games with his national team, then it’s great for us.
“He didn’t play much football and footballers have to play like that instead of having for two weeks.
“He needed games, you could see that in the performances earlier, especially in the Fulham game against the 70th minute that he was almost cooked in terms of his physical fitness, so it is positive to endure two heavy games at international level.”
Positive international break
Many Spurs players were in action during the international break and Postecoglou was happy that so many of his players got important minutes before the season of the season.
He added: “It was a good international break for us. First of all, nobody picked up anything, but some boys also had a playing time that we thought would be important, boys like [Cristian] Romero, Destiny [Udogie]Matty Tel (photo), Wilson [Odobert] And all these guys who recently missed a lot of football all got a good playing time.
“Those who all played relatively well, they are all back and we have had a strong training group in recent days.”
