Is there a mole inside Tottenham? Manager Ange Postecoglou, facing the risk of being dismissed, raised the question.
Tottenham will face the home team Wolverhampton in the 32nd round of the 2024-25 season Premier League, held at the Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England, at 10 p.m. (Korea time) on the 13th. Tottenham is ranked 14th in the league, while Wolverhampton is in 17th place, fighting against relegation.
On the 11th, Postecoglou suddenly brought up the theory of internal moles. He noted, "It is beyond doubt that someone within our team is leaking information externally. Someone is leaking specific information, including the extent of players' injuries. It must be a club insider," expressing his anger.
In fact, there were rumors about Wilfried Ndidi's absence ahead of the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals. On that day, Ndidi did not play. Last year, rumors about Son Heung-min's injury also circulated before the club officially acknowledged them.
Postecoglou raised the issue, saying, "Medical information must be handled very cautiously. Only a limited number of people share information. There are also details about players that we do not want to disclose. It is unacceptable for such information to be leaked," referring to Gong Yoo.
If Postecoglou's claims are true, Tottenham has severe security gaps. However, this cannot be an excuse for Tottenham's poor performance. The reason for Tottenham's struggles lies in Postecoglou's tactics themselves.
The Daily Mail questioned, "While the leak of internal information at Tottenham is a problem, Postecoglou's tactics are a more serious issue. Is Tottenham's poor performance truly due to the leaked information?"
Other fans expressed, "Postecoglou is making another excuse while facing dismissal," "Son Heung-min's form has dropped since Postecoglou's arrival," and "Did they manage Son Heung-min's injury properly despite knowing about it?"
