Yves Bissouma thrived in Tottenhams attacking system against Brentford, now the midfielder is hungry to prove his form can carry across an entire season in north London; watch Spurs vs Man United live on Sky Sports Premier League on Saturday from 5pm; kick-off 5.30pm
One game in, Bissouma is already benefitting from Postecoglou's attacking style, which indulges front-foot football, moving the ball with pace, but also purpose. The commanding No 8 enjoyed 138 touches in the middle of the park, the most he's made in a Premier League game since his competition debut for Brighton in August 2019.
"The way we work with the manager at training is amazing. We work hard. We try to keep the ball, and work a lot on possession - he's the manager, he says he wants us to have the ball."Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham enjoyed 69.6 per cent possession at Brentford, only once in the last four years – under Jose Mourinho & Antonio Conte - have Spurs had more possession in a Premier League game.
"I play for Tottenham, I don't play for Bissouma FC," he said with a wry smile."Everything I do I think about my team, and my team-mates. I'm working hard to be on top every game. "He's like a friend, a dad, an uncle, he's everything. He plays all of these roles. He's very chill, he's relaxed - never putting pressure on his players. He just tries to tell us what he wants. For me, he's an amazing person and an amazing coach as well.
"Nothing has changed. Harry is a legend, I have so much respect for him. Thank you to Harry. I wish him the best because he deserves good things. I watched him on the TV when I was younger, and to be in the same changing room was amazing. The Bissouma who opened the 2023/24 is one Spurs fans haven't seen before, assisting the defensive duties of Oliver Skipp while aiding the inventiveness of James Maddison. It looked slick and polished, as if the proverbial penny had finally dropped in the midfielder's favour.
