Ange Postecoglou sits down with Sky Sports to talk his first eight months at Tottenham, proving himself in the dressing room and their Champions League hopes.
'I think about it that I have to walk into a dressing room and prove myself from the first day irrespective of what I've done in the past. I don't think that's a bad thing, necessarily.' When Ange Postecoglou first walked through the door at the Tottenham Hotspur Training Centre, beamed his first smile and uttered his first 'mate', he had no certainty the team he had inherited would listen to a word he had to say.
'It's about building the attitude and the mindset,' he says. 'The football becomes a by-product of that.' It has ingrained a philosophy off the pitch, even more so than on it. The plaudits for Spurs' gung-ho approach in the early weeks of the season have faded, and a few question marks crept in over inconsistent results and frustrating performances, in particular when facing low blocks.
