Aobo: The longer the championship drought, the harder it will be to break it. I firmly believe that only by winning the championship can we change the fate of Tottenham

May 22: Tottenham defeated Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final and successfully won the cup. After the game, Tottenham coach Obo accepted an interview with TNT Sports.

Tottenham ended the championship drought

"I'm digesting all this. I know what this means for this football club. The longer the championship drought lasts, the more difficult it is to break the cycle. I can feel the tension in the club. You can never experience that feeling of relief until you really unload your burden."

"I hope the taste of winning this championship will allow players to see themselves from a different perspective, and more importantly, to regain confidence among supporters. Some fans have followed us for 41 years but have never witnessed us win the European Championship, which is really unbelievable Trust. ”

The difference between the league and the cup

"The knockout football is completely different from the league. This is about the maturity of the tactical system and the clear game plan. We built a solid defense line through the five-guard formation, which is a configuration that is difficult for the league to achieve in normal times. This makes me believe that even after taking the lead, we have enough ability to deal with Manchester United's counterattack. ”

" The previous bold statement was not a boast, but a declaration of belief. I always firmly believe that the third in the league cannot change the fate of the club, and only winning the championship can bring qualitative changes. I dare to face the doubts, because this is my ambition. The repeated mention of my declaration from the outside world just shows that we have seized the window of opportunity to win the championship. "

The impact of winning the championship

"This is related to the club's self-awareness. When facing external doubts, we need a firmer position. I understand the lack of confidence brought by long-term lack of championship, but I hope this championship will become a turning point. There is no reason why we cannot create glory next year and we must build a team born for the championship. The characteristic of a great club is to always demand ourselves by the championship standards, which is exactly the DNA we need to build."

"I always keep the trophy high Focus. No matter what the future holds, we are still in the process of building. This is a young team that needs additional experience. Although I have obtained the Champions League qualification, my team building idea is to build a champion that lasts for five to six years. Of course, as the head coach, the final decision-making power is not in my hands. But as you can see, the only thing I care about is this trophy - it represents the glorious moment of the club. "

"I don't think the mission has been completed. From the moment I accept the coach, winning the championship is the only goal. Now we have achieved a breakthrough, and we will continue to climb based on this. "
