Whatever Ange Postecoglou is doing behind the scenes, it’s working. Now, Fabrizio Romano has shared his insight into how the players are feeling about their new manager’s approach to football.
Tottenham are currently unbeaten in the first ten league games of the season after eight wins and two draws, and sit atop the Premier League table, two points clear of both Arsenal and Manchester City.
Ange Postecoglou‘s impact at the club since arriving this summer cannot be underestimated, with his exciting, attacking brand of football being adopted by the Spurs players almost immediately.
Long gone are the conservative methods of Antonio Conte, with Ange-ball delighting fans and getting the best out of the Tottenham squad, to achieve near-perfect results on the pitch.

Spurs fans love training under Postecoglou
Those results do not come easily, however, and now, Fabrizio Romano has shared what he knows about Postecoglou’s methods behind the scenes, and how the players have reacted.
He said: “From what I’m hearing, [the players] are not just happy with what they’re doing on the pitch on Sunday or during the week. What they’re doing in training was the crucial change, from what I’m hearing, already in the pre-season and then now.
“They enjoy the training sessions, they’re very happy with the high-pressing wanted by Ange Postecoglou. New mentality, new approach, new ideas. The pressing is absolutely crucial for Postecolgou, he’s really pushing.
“[The players] really like the manager’s approach, the manager’s ideas, the new tactical idea. They are very, very happy. Many people didn’t know how good he was, now the numbers speak for him. But training sessions are always crucial to understand how good a manager is.”

Happy players are successful players, and that’s being proven every week by the Spurs lads. I think it’s pretty easy to get people to buy into your ideologies when it’s as fun as this, and getting the positive results so soon obviously helps get people on side too.
