ANGE POSTECOGLOU has told Tottenham to embrace the pressure of tomorrow’s crunch Europa League last-16 tie at home to AZ Alkmaar and doubled down on his second-season trophy remark.

Spurs host AZ in desperate need of a result to keep alive a difficult campaign, which will threaten to spiral out of control if they are unable to overturn the 1-0 loss they suffered in Alkmaar after a tepid display last Thursday.

Postecoglou memorably declared back in September that he “always wins things” in his second year of a job, but brushed off suggestions that was a comment he may now regret.
