All season, Spurs fans have been delighted by the attacking ways of Ange Postecoglou and his Lilywhites squad. Now, Guglielmo Vicario has revealed what the key components of the Ange-ball approach truly are.
Ange Postecoglou hasn’t taken long to imprint his vision on the Tottenham squad this season. After taking over last summer, the Australian has got his Spurs side playing the kind of entertaining football fans have longed for.
It’s not just fun to watch, either. Spurs are currently fifth in the Premier League and have a great chance of achieving an all-important top-four finish that would bring Champions League football back to North London next year.
The enthralling style of play, dubbed Ange-ball, has had fans, plaudits, and players raving all season, and one thing’s for sure: when you watch Spurs now, you are going to see some goals.
Vicario discusses Ange-ball and the Spurs fans
Responsible for keeping the goals out of the Tottenham net, Guglielmo Vicario is blessed with having the perfect view of his teammates and their attacking football. Speaking to FourFourTwo, Vicario explained what Postecoglou asks of the team.
“We want to play quickly, keep attacking and show our character,” he said. “Because we can engage the fans with that style of football.”
On the topic of the fans, Vicario added: “Every time you pull off a save, you’re absolutely buzzing. When you play in front of 60,000 people in a stadium like we have, it’s amazing.
“Maybe after a save, a big moment follows and you score a goal, you win the game and you see all of the crowd going crazy. That’s an awesome moment.”

Honestly, I love seeing Vicario celebrate his saves and the defensive blocks just as much as celebrating a goal. It’s great to have that passion from front to back throughout this team.
