Postecoglou highlights how Tottenham’s contrasting fortunes have united the team, stating, “We have had extremes this year, but one has almost caused the other.” The Carabao Cup run impacted their league form, yet the resilience built through league struggles has propelled them to historic achievements. He emphasizes the cause-and-effect relationship between their disappointments in the league and their cup successes, terming the season as one of extraordinary extremes.

Injuries to key players like Heung-min Son, Guglielmo Vicario, and Cristian Romero have tested Tottenham’s squad depth. Despite setbacks, Postecoglou finds inspiration in the squad’s ability to overcome adversity. He notes, “People try to separate the two, but there is cause and effect there.” The season’s challenges, marked by injuries and a demanding schedule, have fueled the team’s determination to succeed.

Reflecting on the season’s length and challenges, Postecoglou acknowledges the energy derived from nearing a significant milestone. He stresses the importance of seizing opportunities when they arise, underscoring the team’s focus on achieving their goals in the face of adversity.
