Giovanni Lo Celso says Spurs will need time to adjust to Jose Mourinho's style.

Mourinho has won his first two games in charge after replacing Mauricio Pochettino last week.

Lo Celso, on loan from Real Betis, told Sky Sports News: "We know that it takes time when you've got a new coaching staff, a new head coach.

"It takes time for the team to take on board all the new ideas - we know they bring with them new ways of working, new methods, new ideas.

"The main thing is this period started with a victory initially and that gives confidence, not only to the players, but also to the coaching staff and manager as well.

"I think it will take time to really take on board the new ideas and tactics, but I think we've started well and that's a positive."

Asked if he thinks he can break into the team and become a regular starter under Mourinho, he replied: "It's all about trying to do the best for the team. It's the manager's decision at the end of the day, we're just professional players.

"I'm here first and foremost to improve and grow as a player and an individual and give 100 per cent on the training field and on the pitch. After that, it's down to the manager to decide."
