SYDNEY : Ange Postecoglou has spent his coaching life confounding those who underestimate him and the social media campaign against him becoming Tottenham Hotspur manager was unlikely to bother him too much.
"My vision is I want to play football everyone talks about and with that, hopefully, we will have success as well," he said in 2020 when explaining how he built a championship-winning team at Yokohama F Marinos. Brazil was happy to eat humble pie 11 months later after Celtic won the League Cup and Scottish Premiership title, likening the move to Arsenal's appointment of the little-known Arsene Wenger in 1996.
Eight months later, he led the Socceroos to a winless but not entirely unworthy campaign at the 2014 World Cup and the following year secured Australia's first major title at the Asian Cup. "Total Football is when you have the ball and everyone is involved, and the extension of that for me is that when you don't have the ball everyone is involved as well," Postecoglou added in that 2020 press conference.
