Polo: I was surprised to see someone saying they wanted to fire Obo, I think we are very satisfied with him

June 4th, Tottenham defender Polo was interviewed by the Guardian in the Spanish national team and talked about the past season.

Polo said he still hasn't digested the achievements of this season: "It's been more than 40 years since the last time the team won the European trophy, and people have reacted very enthusiastically. When you take a bus to travel around London, you feel how important this trophy is, it has changed people's lives. They have suffered for it, and our hearts are suffering day after day. Not only because Tottenham has performed poorly this season, or the team hasn't won any trophy in the past 20 years, but because it's almost a laughing stock. Although it's just people's opinion, these words will come to our ears."

"But we don't care, I even want to thank them because it's an extra motivation and the fuel for us to move forward. I finally won the championship, let them say it now, just make fun of them. As the coach said, 'Boys, this is Tottenham.' We have to Believe in yourself as a big team, people must respect Tottenham more because we are the Europa League champions. This season has been awful in the Premier League, but winning the European Championship has brought us great joy. The fans have suffered, and we are the same. But what matters is not the beginning, but the ending. "

Despite winning the championship, the future of Tottenham coach Postkoglu is still full of uncertainty. In response, Polo said: "I am not thinking about the club now, because I am in the Spanish national team, we have two important games this week. But if he can continue to coach, it is a good thing for the locker room. He has built a very good team and the coaching needs time. Although we are not doing well in the league, he led us to win trophys, which is very important. People with status in the locker room must understand this. "

So does anyone in the Tottenham understand this? Polo said: "No, it's just... we're in it, we know more or less about the situation, don't we? To be honest, I was surprised to see someone saying they were going to fire him. I'm very close to him, and he's a very important coach to me over the past two years, and it was under his guidance that I played to my best. But things are complicated because in the world of football, a lot of things are not entirely up to you. But frankly, in the team, I think, in my opinion, we're very satisfied with him."

However, Postkoglu lost 22 Premier League games in the past season, Polo smiled and replied: "This is football. The coach wants good results in both lines because he's a winner. But when you know you can achieve bigger goals, you'll focus more on it." One of these things. We know that it is impossible to get the European Cup through the Premier League. The only choice and goal is to win the Europa League. The UEFA Cup has different requirements for you. You must put pressure and defend better. You see, we maintained three clean sheets in the last three games. We did not concede the ball and had strong attack power in the frontcourt. As long as we keep the clean sheet, there is a great chance. I want to tell everyone that people can tell the story of that game in any way, and the important thing is that you won. Some people say we don’t shoot too much...what does it matter? Football is like this. Sometimes you shoot 50 times but can’t make one. Sometimes it’s enough to shoot once, which is called efficiency. "

Former Arsenal coach Wenger said before the Europa League final that the Europa League champion should not qualify for the Champions League. Polo said: "This rule has been around for many years, it's not news, we have to focus on ourselves, not what the old coaches said...even our old coaches. Football is changeable, as I said before: Thank you very much for those who criticize me because it makes me stronger. It does feel hurt at first, but it's normal, it's the pressure of football, after all, they spent £50 million to buy you, and I have always had a mindset to change people's perception."
