According to Ange Postecoglou, Premier League clubs can learn a lot from Arsenal's approach under manager Mikel Arteta. Postecoglou believes that their rivals, Tottenham, are a prime example of a club that fully supports their manager's vision.
As Tottenham prepares to face Arsenal in the highly-anticipated north London derby this weekend, they have the opportunity to throw a wrench in Arsenal's title hopes. Currently, Arsenal sits at the top of the Premier League, one point ahead of Manchester City and 17 points ahead of Spurs.
Postecoglou acknowledges that Arsenal's success is not a coincidence and attributes it to their clear plan and unwavering support for Arteta since he took over in December 2019. He commends Arsenal for having a blueprint that can be emulated by other clubs, but also notes that each club is unique and may have a different approach to rebuilding.
He also praises Arteta for his outstanding job and the club's recognition of his potential. Postecoglou emphasizes the importance of discipline in building a team that can sustain success, which Arsenal has been able to do over the last two to three years.
When asked if he would be satisfied with a win against Arsenal, Postecoglou says that while winning against their traditional rival is important, his motivation stems from wanting to achieve something for his own team. He draws from his experience in Glasgow, where he understands the significance of a derby for supporters.
Postecoglou believes that a team's motivation should not revolve around the demise of their rivals, but rather their own progress and growth. He uses the analogy of constantly comparing yourself to your neighbor and potentially neglecting your own development.
As the season progresses, Postecoglou's ultimate goal is for his team to be in a position to compete for the title. He acknowledges that they are currently behind, but is confident that they are in a better position than they were a year ago. He hopes that in 12 months' time, his team will be one of the contenders for the title, rather than trying to disrupt others.
In conclusion, Postecoglou admires Arsenal's approach and believes that it can serve as a lesson for other clubs. He and his team are focused on their own growth and progress, with the ultimate goal of being title contenders in the near future.
