Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has praised his “nemesis” Tottenham manager Anze Postecoglou, saying he is taking the game of soccer to the next level.According to the BBC on Thursday (Jan. 1), Guardiola praised his nemesis Postecoglou, who will face him in the 14th round of the Premier League (EPL) at 1:30 a.m. at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England, saying that he is “making football better.”Postecoglou, who took over as Spurs boss in June, has led the club to an unbeaten start to the 2023-2024 EPL with eight wins and two draws in 10 games, briefly topping the league table.Pep Guardiola, who coached two of football’s first European trebles (2008-2009 Barcelona and 2022-2023 Man City), said Postecoglou has “completely grasped and taken control of the team in just three or four months.”Guardiola said he was particularly impressed with Postecoglou’s guts.
“Even though Tottenham have lost three games in a row recently, I’ve seen how many chances they create and how aggressive they are in each position,” Guardiola said. It was very impressive and I think Tottenham fans and the British public will recognize what an immediate and positive impact he has had on the league.”Commenting on the 1-4 home defeat in the 11th round of the EPL on July 7, which saw Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie sent off in quick succession, Guardiola said, “Sometimes you have bad moments, but in the midst of it, Tottenham were still dynamic.”Postecoglou won the “treble” in Scottish professional soccer in the 2022-2023 season, winning the regular season, Scottish FA Cup, and League Cup.In two consecutive seasons (2021-2022 and 2022-2023), he oversaw back-to-back regular season titles, a 스포츠토토존 League Cup title, and a Scottish Cup title.
