The Tottenham supporters were absolutely crazy when Eintracht Frankfurt were beaten in the Europa League quarter-finals, the Tottenham supporters cheered twice for their opponent in the semi-finals: A club from the football mosquito Norway, a nation that is unable to carve its way to the championship with Haaland and Ødegaard in the squad. If the Spurs supporters listen to how their own coach speaks about Bodø/Glimt, they understand that Postecoglou would rather have faced Manchester United.
“I obviously have a history with Bodø,” the Spurs boss says according to The Herold.

And the history with Glimt is something the Australian would rather repress. As Celtic coach, Ange Postecoglou suffered a bang against Bodø/Glimt in the Conference League three years ago, with a painful 1-5 defeat on aggregate against the yellow shirts.
The Tottenham coach also remembers well the statement of a cursing Jose Mourinho after being ridiculed with Roma at Aspmyra
“I remember they beat Roma at home, and Mourinho talked about how difficult it was to play there,” Postecoglou continues.
Manchester United are in the second semi-final of the Europa League, this is an opponent the Tottenham manager has sunk three out of three times this season: 0-3 win at Old Trafford in September, 4-3 win in the League Cup, 1-0 win in February.

It shines from Ange Postecoglou that he would rather have Manchester United and Ruben Amorim against him, than Bodø/Glimt and Kjetil Knutsen.
