Ange Postecoglou sack incoming if he does not swallow his pride

Ange Postecoglou was seen “raging” at Tottenham youngster Lucas Bergvall

During Tottenham’s recent win over Man United, Ange Postecoglou was seen “raging” at Lucas Bergvall on two separate occasions.

Since arriving at Tottenham Hotspur, Lucas Bergvall has made five Premier League appearances. He is yet to start in the league but he has come off the bench a handful of times now.

As an 18-year-old tipped for future greatness, this is a good start for the Swedish international. After all, nobody expected him to come in and be a first-team starter right from the get-go.

Lucas Bergvall is a dynamic midfielder, who is positive in the final third. He keeps his head up and isn’t afraid to take risks for the sake of his teammates and manager.

Unfortunately against Man United, Lucas Bergvall played a little too risky for Ange Postecoglou’s liking. In fact, the Aussie manager was seen “raging” at Lucas Bergvall on the touchline.

According to an observation from Football London, Ange Postecoglou was seen “raging” on two occasions at Lucas Bergvall during his cameo against Man United.

The first time was when Lucas Bergvall opted to take a shot in the final ten minutes, rather than passing it to a more open Mikey Moore.

The second time was when Lucas Bergvall tried to pass to Mikey Moore, rather than scanning his other side, where two teammates were in better positions. Both instances involved the wrong choice being made by Lucas Bergvall.

However, this is tough love from Ange Postecoglou. He won’t go and “out” Lucas Bergvall to the media. He is aware of Bergvall’s age and time to develop, so highlighting these mistakes will only help him to improve.

Ange Postecoglou has put together some winning form for Tottenham Hotspur. It is unfortunate that the momentum will soon be halted by the October international break but he will head into the break full of confidence in his team.

Particularly as the UEFA Europa League and the English domestic cups continue, Lucas Bergvall could make more appearances. At this age, making mistakes and learning from them is important.
