Daniel Lewy and Ange Postecoglou react to the recent situation created in the club, saying it all on what is happening and what will be the future of the club.
During the preparations in Australia, the coach Ange Postecoglou gave the latest about the team, and especially the situation of the main attacker Harry Kane. He explained in detail what he thinks about the created situation and what would be the managerial solution.
“I had a good chat with Harry. As I said before, nothing earth-shattering or defining from I guess what people are seeking. Just a good chat. I introduced myself and we spoke mainly about the club and where he thinks it’s at and where he thinks we can improve things. Training ever since it’s been good.”
“There hasn’t been a discussion. There are a lot of people that know Harry better than me but he’s not going to get fazed by anything. He’s here and while he’s here, he’s totally committed to what we’re doing.”
“That’s the way I’ve seen things. In terms of me, it has zero impact on me. If other clubs want to talk about our contracted players, that’s more of an issue for them than us.”
Coach and the new captain
The coach spoke for the new captain and the conditions to be the next captain at the Spurs.
“No, not yet. It’s about me getting to know the group and allowing that to develop. For some of those things, you’re better off letting it grow organically rather than forcing things and having preconceived ideas.
“I just want to see how the group works and like I say, so far the whole group has been really strong in terms of committing to what we’re going to do, and that’s what you want to see. Within that, you see individuals who will look to lead, and they all lead in different ways.
“It’s not always the loudest or the highest profile, it’s sometimes by actions and what I’m looking for is leadership within the whole group. Guys that are prepared to take some responsibility for what we’re about to embark on.”

Lewy’s Reaction
The president reacted and expressed his thoughts on the situation and Harry Kane’s movement.
“Fair to say less than that. I don’t think that’s helpful for anyone, the players included. That’s where things will transpire,” he said. “My view has always been to treat everyone the same. Whether they’re going to be here short, medium, or long term. At the moment they’re all part of our club so I don’t like to differentiate. We brought a group that is all healthy and fit and can play.
“Will they all be there at the start of the year? Unlikely, very unlikely, but that doesn’t mean I’ll treat them any differently now. That’s just the way I work. We’ll see. Obviously, the players themselves will look for opportunities elsewhere if they think they’re not going to get them here. Whenever that comes across my desk I’ll discuss it with the players and make a decision that’s best for all parties.”
“Obviously we’re going to make a squad that’s going to be robust enough to play the football. Exact numbers are not really important. We’re going to play football a certain way and to do that it’s going to require a really strong squad, not just a strong 11. What that magic number is, we’ll see.”
The next few days will be determinative to deciding the future of Kane with the coach that is eager to decide his starting eleven. But above all as the president said to decide the group for the new season. Kane is a decisive striker and one of the important elements in the club. His departure would change Tottenham and the staff would prepare a different team with other expectations.
