"Tottenham didn't have the same energy as it did in the past," Lloris said, according to a report by British sports media "The Athletic" on the 25th (Korea time). Engie Postecoglou had a positive impact.
French goalkeeper Lloris joined Tottenham in 2012 after passing through League 1's OGC Nice and Olympique Lyonnais. He played as Tottenham's main goalkeeper for 10 years. He played in 361 Premier League matches. He also held the record of 20 World Cup matches, the most for a French national team. In 2018, he won the World Cup title.
But everything changed in the summer of 2023 when Postecoglou was appointed as Tottenham's new manager. Postecoglou has signed a new goalkeeper, Guglielmo Vicario. Vicario played as the mainstay. Lloris suffered from 'transfer rumors' day after day.
Lloris said, "To be honest, these past six months have been tough. If you're a professional player, you wake up in the morning and set your goals. I've trained every day for the past six months without any proper goals. I missed the actual games. But I tried to take it positively. I spent more time with my staff and family. I organized my life for my future. I didn't want to waste my time."
Lloris lost his place, but he watched Postecoglou transform Tottenham with great interest. Lloris said, "It was amazing. I participated in all the training sessions and analysis before and after the game. With my knowledge of football, I had so much to add. Postecoglou had his own vision and football approach. It was really interesting to see it up close."
Lloris has experienced world-class masterpieces such as Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho, and Antonio Conte. He was the runner-up in the Premier League and the runner-up in the Champions League during the Pochettino era, but his days with Mourinho were like dark days.
Lloris added, "The vision, the approach, the type of management is different. The only thing I can say is that Postecoglou was very different." Lloris cheered, "Tottenham is a very young team now. Everyone enjoys Tottenham's soccer. The credit goes to Postecoglou."
Lloris said, "After Pochettino's departure, the club's way of playing soccer changed, too. Fans were not satisfied. However, there was a real positive impact with Postecoglou coming. Fans enjoy Tottenham's soccer as well as the results. It is an attractive soccer with aggression and a controlling share. Everyone enjoys watching Tottenham. Postecoglou is credited with that."
