Aobo: Few Asian players can play in the Premier League for so long, hoping to bring trophy to Son Heung-min

May 20th At 3:00 am on May 22, in the final of the Europa League, Tottenham Hotspur will face Manchester United at the San Mames Stadium. Before the game, Tottenham coach Postkoglu attended the press conference and talked about some of the current situation of the team.

Regarding the team's injury situation

- The team's situation is similar to last week, and Berrival cannot play.

What does it mean if you win tomorrow?

-I hope we can win tomorrow than Sunday. When I came to the club, I had some very clear goals for priorities. I am doing my best to stick to the goal and let the club reach a level where I can challenge the trophy. Along the way, we have experienced many challenges and there is an important game tomorrow and we have the opportunity to complete this task and win the trophy.

About Tottenham organized a barbecue dinner before the game

- This is what the players took the initiative to ask for. I will never refuse barbecue, so they don’t need to ask for it strongly! We had a relaxing afternoon and we enjoyed the barbecue on the training ground, which was so extravagant.

A more important aspect about tomorrow night's game

- the significance of qualifying for the Champions League. For every club, the benefits of entering the Champions League are obvious, and you have the opportunity to play against the strongest team in Europe. The club has also participated in the Champions League before, but we haven't won the trophy for a long time, so this is the most important thing.

Is this significant about the match against Manchester United this season?

- This is a final, you know, nothing before is important. The only thing I'm sure of is that I've experienced this in important competitions before. The status is not important, what matters is how the players deal with tomorrow’s game and their understanding of how important the game is.

For both clubs, you don't know how the players will react on such an important occasion. My job is to try to prepare the players for the best preparation, and you need to be prepared to face Manchester United in the best condition. I don't think it's important to have any performance against the same opponent before.

About Richarlison

-I am happy with his current situation because he has been having a hard time since joining Tottenham, and he has never really had his own game, which puts a lot of pressure on his body and spirit. He is passionate and determined to play football. He is very strong and it is great to have him on the team. He brings something different from the rest of our offensive players.

About Son Heung-min

—Son Heung-min's return is very important. We are a little worried when he was injured because we don't know how long he will be absent. He put in a huge effort to get back to the field, and you can see that he is recovering. He is very important to the team and is a key player in this club and I hope to give him a trophy that matches his career. Few Asian players can play in the Premier League for so long, and it would be great to win a trophy for him.

Regarding the possibility of being the first Greek coach to lead the team to win the European finals - I am very proud that I was born in Greece and my father made me understand what it means to be a Greek. He is not here today, but he has been with me all the time. I love Greece and I think I will retire there one day. I love Australia too, and although football is not a popular sport there, you have been a child who believes you can beat any opponent.

Regarding seizing opportunities

- I say it again, I don't think it helps much. From day one, I told the team members that there is nothing to guarantee whether in life or in sports, and you must try to seize every opportunity in front of you. There is nothing more important than my responsibility at this football club, and tomorrow, I will only consider one thing, and that is to try to create something special.

About your future

-I will not be the first person to change jobs, we will all change jobs. My future is guaranteed, I have a happy family and a wonderful life. I will continue to win trophy until I retire and don't worry about my future.
