Nuno Espirito Santo has revealed he was told about Tottenham's philosophy when joining the club.
The Portuguese has been criticised for defensive tactics after Spurs lost the north London derby against Arsenal.
Speaking ahead of Thursday's Europa Conference League clash with NS Mura, Nuno said he intends his side to play with attacking intent.
"I've been told [the philosophy] and everybody knows," he told reporters on Wednesday. "It's football, everybody wants to play good. Everybody wants to play offensively, everybody wants to score. This is what we chase.
"Sometimes it's not possible but we are aware that this is what we want to do but it takes a building process to achieve it and we are trying.
"The criticism is normal. Everybody knows how this industry works. When you don't play good, when you don't perform and results don't go your way, criticism is something you have to deal with. We understand it and it's up to us to react and change it."
