Brennan Johnson says “now is the time” for a mic drop from Ange Postecoglou after leading Tottenham to Europa League success.
Spurs beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final in Bilbao on Wednesday night to shine a positive light on what has been a disappointing campaign based on their Premier League form.
Furthermore, in lifting Europe’s second tier competition, Postecoglou has continued his record of winning a trophy in his second season with almost every team he has managed.
Speaking to TNT Sports straight after the game, Johnson heaped praise on the Spurs boss: “He has done his job. He said he wins in the second year and he has, if there's ever a time for a mic drop, it's now [when he speaks to the media].
"I can't thank the manager enough for how much trust he has in us and he has a really good way of getting us up for it."
Johnson, ultimately was Spurs’ hero in Spain as he scored the only goal of the game shortly before half-time.
Playing a massive role in ending the club’s 17-year wait to win a major trophy, the Welshman could not hide his delight and delivering silverware for Spurs after such a difficult season.
He added: "I'm so happy right now. This season has not been good at all, not one of us players care about that now. This team has not won a trophy for 17 years, it means so much.
"All the fans get battered, we get battered for not winning a trophy. We had to get the first one, I'm so happy. Ever since I came here it has been 'Tottenham, good team but can't get it done', but we got it done.
"I knew I touched it a bit [for the goal], but not clean, then I looked up and the ball was trickling in the goal.
"[In the last five minutes] I couldn't watch. I was just asking 'how long left?' When we defended that corner, I was getting told it was done and the relief is something I can't describe.
"Tottenham Hotspur being 17th in the Premier League is not good enough. We had an unbelievable Europa run. The fans have been so good, home and away and they had the edge over the United fans. They were all here an hour before the game, they got us through the game."
Liverpool and Anfield will bid farewell to Trent Alexander-Arnold this weekend and Arne Slot hopes the defender receives a better reception than he did a fortnight ago against Arsenal
