Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario sought to clarify his exchange with angry fans after the “terrible” defeat of the Europa League by Az Alkmaar, apologizing to all those who were offended.
The Spurs had their No1 to thank them for keeping them alive during the last equality after an abject performance during the shock of the first stage of Thursday evening in the Netherlands which was decided by a first goal by Lucas Bergvall, making crucial stops to refuse ex-Tottenham Troy parrott visitors and keep the deficit at 1-0, because the visitors made a single shot on Target.
However, he received criticism after the match after hearing in front of the external end to Afas Stadion and agitating his arms in an apparent attempt to request more support, which produced an angry response from itinerant fans while Vicario was then moved away.
The Italian later told journalists in Alkmaar that he understood the frustration and that the supporters had the right to feel disappointed, but urged the fans and the club to stay together while they were trying to ingest a reversal in the second stage of the soil at home next week, after the visit of Bournemouth in the first League.
Manager Ange Postcoglou also spoke to support Vicario on Friday, insisting that the goalkeeper was “very passionate” and cared a lot about the club, describing him as “one of the purest human beings you can ever meet” and insisting that he did not have “a bad or vindictive bone in his makeup”.
Vicario once again addressed the incident in a new post on his Instagram account, which is read as follows: “As a team, we are full responsibility for our terrible performance on the field last night. We will work even harder to understand, as a mature group, which did not work.
“However, we have an excellent opportunity, starting on Sunday, to redeem ourselves and prepare us in the best possible way for the second battle next Thursday.
“Regarding what happened at the final whistle in front of the outside section, I want to clarify my intention to keep everyone as united as possible, even in the disappointment that we have caused to our people. If I offended someone, I apologize to those who felt affected.
“After-match emotions can be misunderstood, but I assure you that my commitment to this team and you, our fans, become stronger day after day. Coys, together. “”
