The EL win was all Ange. A tactical masterclass and conscious decision to go against all of his footballing principles.

Came across as recklessly stubborn. He made it sound like
"Boss, we're leaking too many goals - can we change the tactics"
"I won't. You'll have to do it yourselves if you want to"
"Ourselves?"
"Yes mate. I'm not changing my fucking tactics for anyone, but if you and Cuti want to ignore the tactics on the field then it's your responsibility".
I do get baffled by player's when they say shit like "we played unbelievable football". Like, when? At the very start? Certainly don't remember any of that in the last 6 months
That is fucking wild.
So basically Postecoglou's tactics got us 17th place and our CBs as player/manager won us a European trophy.
Just curious why Neville always seem to hit us at the right moments with such interviews.. Done deliberately with the timing of recording/release no less. The entire fanbase and club become trippy as a result of these interviews not for the first time.
It’s his job. He’s an agitator and wants to create buzz and content that will get boards like this talking about the subject.
It works.
im surprised that little dweeb neville felt safe in a room with two white men.
Like most Dutchmen he has a very direct, no-nonsense approach to talking which leaves little to interpretation. Endearing.
Interesting he said he prefers left back. He's a left back all day!
Spence-Cuti-Vuskovic-VDV next season with Udogie and Porro supporting would be a very good base. With this kind of defensive stability we could do away with a Palhinha type of midfielder, and play some more progressive players in the base of midfield as 3 of those defenders can step up into midfield in attack.
Imagine Vuskovic having both Cuti and VDV to learn from either side? His learning curve would be in fast forward.
If we can manage to get a new contract into him, I'd make him captain.
He has 3 years left on his contract, Real can pay 9 figures or fuck off. Or a straight swap for Rodrygo.
Nothing about his interview suggests he's in any rush to leave but Real Madrid are Real Madrid.

This part of the interview (specifically about the final) is after he said he and Cuti approached Ange before to play more pragmatically (Before Frankfurt).
This is Ange implementing Micky and Cuti's suggestion.
The amount of shit I've received for trying to explain this to people.
I will always be grateful to the PLAYERS for that trophy.
The players loved him because they didn't have to be disciplined and could express themsleves without any real responsibility on the field.Came across as recklessly stubborn. He made it sound like

That's what it's all about.
It's like children who have parents that let them do what they want; they love 'em, but it's not good for the child!
I think the same about Poch. Mourinho seemed to be flabbergasted as to what he inherited in that regard
Nah, not for me.
Poch was much more disciplined and structured in approach than ange.
Overly so towards the end, in fact.
Poch was also a great motivator (in the first half of his tenure, anyway), but had a more balanced approach, overall.
Not sure how that computes. Dele didn't turn into a someone who couldn't be arsed with training overnight
It's because he's a cunt
Dele had personal issues we're now all aware of.
Can't be used as a yard stick for anything tbf.

People aren't even watching the whole video and took that bit out of context to fit into one's own narrative. Look at VdV's endearing eyes when he spoke about Ange.
Then compared to this:
