Tottenham boss jokes about moving to Sweden to escape VAR scrutiny

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has made light of the ongoing controversy surrounding VAR in the Premier League by joking that he is considering a move to Sweden, where the technology is not in use.

The Australian manager, whose team suffered a 3-2 defeat to league leaders Arsenal over the weekend, expressed his frustration with the decisions made by officials during the match. Postecoglou believed his team should have been awarded a penalty and questioned the offside call against Micky van de Ven.

Despite his misgivings about VAR, Postecoglou acknowledged that the technology is here to stay. He admitted that while he would make changes to how it is implemented, he believes VAR has had a significant impact on the game.

In a lighthearted moment, Postecoglou joked about moving to Sweden to escape the controversies surrounding VAR. He quipped, “I don’t have a job, I’m just moving there.”

Despite the setback against Arsenal, Postecoglou remains optimistic about Tottenham’s progress and their chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season. He praised his players for their belief in the team’s style of play and their willingness to compete against the best.

However, Tottenham will be without key players Ben Davies and Timo Werner for their upcoming match against Chelsea. Both players sustained injuries during the Arsenal game and will miss the remainder of the season.

As the Premier League season nears its conclusion, Postecoglou and Tottenham will be looking to finish strong and secure a spot in Europe’s premier club competition. With the race for the top four heating up, every point will be crucial in the final stretch of the season.
