Tottenham Hotspur winger Dejan Kulusevski has shared just how angry Ange Postecoglou can get in the dressing room.

The Lilywhites are flying high in the Premier League under the 58-year-old Australian, but it has not all been smooth sailing since his arrival.

And it is apparent Ange Postecoglou lets his players know when he is not happy with their performances as Dejan Kulusevski has revealed.

Kulusevski shares Postecoglou rage

Injury issues throughout the season have disrupted our momentum at times and there have been some poor performances along the road.

Of course, on the whole, it has been incredibly encouraging to see how the club is progressing both on and off the pitch since Postecoglou’s arrival.

However, speaking to The US Sun, the Swedish winger has revealed just how angry the manager can get at half-time when the players aren’t giving him what he wants to see: “He gets angry for sure,” said Kulusevski.

“There have been a couple of half-times when he thinks we’re not doing enough, playing safe and not pushing enough to win the game and then he lets us hear it.

“He goes really, really mad. But we always play better afterwards so it works! It is not fun but it is part of the job, you cannot always just give love to players sometimes you have to be hard on them like parents do. It is not scary because it helps us in the end.”

Kulusevski battling for his spot

One thing which Postecoglou has demanded for since he arrived at the club was competition for places and he has certainly got that at the minute up top.

The Swede now finds himself battling with Brennan Johnson for the starting spot on the right wing with the Welshman tipped for big things by Heung-min Son.

And now the South Korean is back in action, Sky Sports man Paul Merson has even suggested Kulusevski may be dropped for Timo Werner.

It is a selection headache which Postecoglou will certainly welcome and it will hopefully bring the best out of players like Kulusevski.

The Swede has had a solid season with five goals in the Premier League, but there is certainly room for improvement with that.

And having the likes of Johnson and Werner also battling for the spot in a starting XI, it may well help the 23-year-old find his best form.
