Ange Postecoglou puzzled by Tottenham fans wanting loss to Manchester City

Ange Postecoglou says he would not be able to understand Tottenham fans wanting their side to lose at home to Manchester City on Tuesday.

Arsenal forward Kai Havertz claimed after their 1-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday that he would support Tottenham this week, but Postecoglou rejected suggestions his own fanbase would be happy to lose to City.“If you’re going by social media then probably 99 per cent of supporters don’t ,” Postecoglou said.

“What I love more than anything in the game is the competitiveness, challenging yourself to beat someone and coming out successful. Anything outside of that it’s got nothing to do with sport. It’s got nothing to do with me. “That is without a shadow of a doubt and us winning tomorrow night will help us bring joy to 100 per cent of Spurs supporters.”

He added: “You think the majority of our fans will want us to not win tomorrow night? I don’t see it that way. I think the majority of our fans will create the atmosphere they always create at our home games.“We have an opportunity to measure ourselves against the best tomorrow night, a team that is consistently striving for honours. A team we want to try to emulate one day.
