Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven has expressed the team's desire to win the Europa League to support manager Ange Postecoglou, who is under scrutiny following a challenging season where Spurs currently sit in 15th place in the Premier League. The team sees the Europa League as a chance to turn their season around and potentially secure Postecoglou's position at the club by claiming their first trophy in 17 years.
To achieve this goal, Spurs must overcome Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarterfinals, with the tie poised at 1-1 as they head to Germany for the second leg. Van de Ven emphasized the team's trust in the manager's tactics and their determination to succeed not just for Postecoglou but also for themselves, the club, and the fans. Despite the pressure surrounding his future, Postecoglou remains focused on the upcoming match and is committed to seizing the opportunity presented in the Europa League.
However, Spurs will face the second leg without captain Son Heung-Min, who has been sidelined due to a foot injury. Postecoglou acknowledged the challenges faced by the team throughout the season but remains resolute in his approach, emphasizing his determination to give his all in the upcoming crucial fixture despite the uncertainties surrounding his managerial position.
