Spurs fans hissed at him, further widening the divide born of poor results: "It doesn't affect me."
He also criticized VAR: "I've never liked it; it doesn't benefit football at all."
The whistles and boos from Tottenham fans "don't affect me," said Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou , who attempted to calm the controversy that began after Thursday's 1-0 defeat to Chelsea . Spurs fans hissed at their manager's substitutions and chanted "you don't know what you're doing," further widening the divide born of poor results.
Tottenham are 14th after this 16th defeat in 30 Premier League matches. "It doesn't affect me. If that's what the fans feel and if they think I'm not doing a good job, they have every right to express that. They're the ones who will be here long after I'm gone," he said in the post-match press conference. "I try to focus on the things I can control. I can't control the fans, but I can control our football, our way of playing, and our behavior—that's what I focus on," Postecoglou added.
Pape Matar Sarr, who came on in the second half, equalized, but his goal was disallowed after extensive use of video surveillance. Postecoglou appeared to put his hands behind his ears after the goal in the face of his fans, sparking controversy. "It's incredible how things are interpreted. We had just scored, I just wanted to hear them applaud," he attempted to clarify. The Australian was cautious about the error that preceded Sarr's goal. He took the opportunity to once again denounce the use of video surveillance, of which he is one of the strongest opponents.
"Whether I think there was a foul or not, what does it matter? What matters is that VAR is used for clear and obvious errors, right? How long did it take tonight? Six minutes for a clear and obvious error?" he questioned. "I don't like it, I've never liked it. I don't see how it benefits our sport," he insisted.
Postecoglou leaves no stone unturned
