— The leaders of Tottenham are people who care about this conflict. As a football manager, I can try to provide support with advice or guidance.
I’ve always felt that the greatest role of sports in general and football in particular is that, although it may sound cliché, they can be a form of escapism. For 90-95 minutes you can distract people from the difficulties they are experiencing, no matter where they are. You can distract them for a while, at least for the period while they support their football club. Perhaps this way we can console them a little,” said Angelos Postecoglou.
Let us recall that the Hamas attack on Israel began on October 7, 2023 at about 6:30 local time with a massive rocket attack from the Gaza Strip and the invasion of armed forces into the country. The attack killed many Israelis, mostly civilians, and foreigners. The Israeli government declared a state of emergency and began retaliatory missile attacks on the Gaza Strip.
