00:00And Poglou has reaffirmed his belief in always winning a trophy in his second season, despite
00:08the pressure surrounding Tottenham's current campaign.
00:12After an impressive 3-1 victory against EZ Alkmaar which secured their place in the Europa
00:18League quarter-finals, Poglou suggested his earlier words had been misinterpreted by critics
00:26for their own purposes.
00:29Earlier in the season, after a loss to Arsenal in the north London derby, Poglou stated,
00:35I don't usually win things, I always win things in my second season.
00:42A comment that sparked some debate.
00:45Having won silverware in every second season at previous clubs, Poglou's claim raised expectations,
00:52yet Spurs were trailing 1-0 from the first leg against EZ Alkmaar and had already been
00:58eliminated from domestic cup competitions.
01:02You know what, maybe we defy all the odds and I do win something.
01:06You know what people will say, oh, wasn't it great that he made such a bold claim.
01:11People just use it the way they want to, depending on the circumstances.
01:14I'll always answer things the way I feel comfortable in answering them.
01:17I'm really comfortable, I'm proud of the fact that wherever I've been, I've won things.
01:23I think that's something that I wouldn't be sitting here if I didn't.
01:27Whether I win something in my second year here, time will tell.
01:33However, with their 3-1 win in the second leg, Tottenham advanced to the Europa League
01:38quarter-finals, keeping alive Posta Poglou's aspirations of delivering silverware.
01:46Posta Poglou made several changes for the AZ match, indicating that he is fine-tuning
01:51his squad in preparations for the Frankfurt clash.
01:56Vespasuma, who has been inconsistent, may not be trusted in the Europa League.
02:01With crucial games ahead, Posta Poglou's line-up and tactics will continue to evolve as he
02:08strives to deliver on his promise of success in his second season.
