\"Mauricio, if he wants to come back one day, I hope it happens for him. We all have dreams and aspirations, if that\u2019s what he wants. You\u2019re suggesting that he\u2019s trying to put pressure on me?<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Well, I don\u2019t feel disrespected. I think if you ask Mauricio that question directly, you\u2019d get a pretty clear answer as to what his intent was. Again, nothing from me to sort of be consumed with. I\u2019m more focused on making sure we try and win tomorrow night,\u201d said Postecoglou in the pre-game press conference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
