Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma has been speaking about the impact of new manager Ange Postecoglou.

Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma has thrown light onto how the first few weeks with new manager Ange Postecoglou has been with Spurs looking to change their style of play and return to the principles that made them successful in the past.

Bissouma who enjoyed maximum success at Brighton and was signed by Antonio Conte last season is one of the players who have looked bright in the first few weeks under the new manager. He was seen in dressing room videos having fun and stood out when Tottenham took on West Ham in Australia.

The Malian international endured a frustrating year in north London due to injuries and partly due to the fine form of Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur before his injury.

The midfielder has however said he feels a close connection with his new manager and described his style as that of a father to most of his players.

He is quoted by the Evening Standard: “He’s like a dad, uncle, friend for us, so we’re happy to be with him and we’re trying to do what he wants.

“He’s good with us. He gives us confidence. He comes to his players and talks to us all. That’s really important in the changing room.

“When the gaffer comes and speaks to his players that means everything. You know how we have to do it.I really like the way we play but you have to adapt yourself. The coach can ask me to play right back, left back, centre back. In my head I’m ready to play every position for my team.”

The Lilywhites are expected to spend the next nine days in Thailand and Singapore before heading back to their north London base in Enfield.
