Tottenham midfielder Ev Bisoma has thanked coach Ange Postkoglo for protecting the squad in the disappointment season, adding that “a father or uncle for us.
Spurs are ranked 17th in the Premier League with one game left, with 25 losings – the highest level in all competitions in the 1991-92 season.
They have had the opportunity to save their season with the Europa League final against Manchester United on Wednesday, Mali Bisoma midfielder says the relationship between the players and the manager has remained strong throughout the season.
“It’s never changed, it’s never changed. We have a good relationship,” Besoma, 28, said.
“He’s like a father or uncle for us. He always tries to understand what he really wants.
“For us, that anci, he is it. He has the idea. He tries to help us always. He always protects us.
“The Postkoglo style is difficult to access in 2023, but the Australian has ever blamed the players,” Besoma said.
The injury hurt Tottenham’s season but the return of Captain Son Hyung-Men in Friday’s defeat to Aston Villa became stronger.
They beat Az Al-Alkmar, Eintracht Frankfurt and Bodo/Glemet to secure the European final against their team-mates in the Premier League.
Besoma was banned from the beginning of the season after videos showed that the midfielder had absorbed laughter, an incident that he said he didn’t want to talk about, but “still learning.
“Of course there’s something more that comes (from me). We are always here to learn, I still learn,” he said.
“It’s been difficult for me this season because I haven’t played much,” he said.
“The only thing I know is that you have to do hard work and never give up and be ready when your team needs you. That’s what I’m always trying to do.
“We know what to do. We have to win this cup because it’s really important for us. It’s an important game for us.
“As a player doesn’t come every season, it’s a special thing for the fans,” he said.
