Tottenham Hotspurs winger Brennan Johnson on these types of games not coming around often  12/05/2025  Tottenham Hotspurs Training Ground, London, UK

Transcript

00:00Hi, we spoke to you post-match Thursday night, you've had another training session, another game, another training session, another game,

00:08but have you had a moment to think about what does lie ahead? You're so young, you're into a European final and you can lift a trophy.

00:15Some players go their whole career without that opportunity.

00:19Yeah, it's been difficult to really process it, but I think the more the days go on, the more the excitement builds about what's ahead.

00:26But yeah, as you said, and the manager alludes to it a lot, these games don't come around often.

00:33I think some players are a lot older than me, some are a lot younger than me and it's kind of just, it can be a once in a career moment.

00:40Hopefully not, I wish the best for everyone, but yeah, I think we're all aware that these situations are big and we can't take it for granted.

00:47I saw the emotion with Ange in that dressing room afterwards and it gave us a sense of behind closed doors what you all have been going through,

00:55the ups and very much the downs this season. How much can you use that as a motivation in a week's time?

01:02Yeah, I think massively. I think, I feel like in this competition it's brought us together so much.

01:08The countries that we've been to, the late nights, being together, being on the plane together, all these things.

01:14And I feel like, yeah, after the game on Thursday, it kind of just showed that we have been through a tough time together.

01:21We haven't done things right the whole time. I feel like we haven't performed as well as we can, but we've stuck together the whole time.

01:27And I feel like that's a good base to go off and then hopefully the quality can shine through.

01:32And the narrative that Ange talked about is that there's a trophy for both sides to win.

01:37Sometimes it's about a higher purpose, sometimes it's about that extra special thing.

01:41And in this case, it's about changing the mentality of this club to prove to people you can get over the line and finish.

01:48How ready is a group of you to do that? Because that could change the history of this football club.

01:52Yeah, exactly. And he said that to us as well. He said that this game, not only would it be an unbelievable game for us,

02:00but of course the club and the fans, I feel like it would be a real momentum shift for the club going forward.

02:05So, yeah, we know it's a massive game and it's just about, as you said, who has the quality going into the day and who prepares the best.

02:13So, yeah, we'll be doing everything we can for that hopefully to be us.

02:16Perfect. Brilliant. Thank you.

02:17Thanks very much, guys. Cheers.

02:18Cheers.
