New Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou admits he wants his team to play a certain way.
Postecoglou is famous for his playing principles and admits he will insist his team play to them this season
In his first media conference today, the Australian said: "I had the same sort of questions when I moved to the SPL, but I've coached in a World Cup and in lots of different leagues. I think every challenge is the same to be honest because it's relative to the competition you're in. I've never gone into any job thinking this is going to be easy compared to anything else I've done. It'll be a massive challenge, absolutely.
"But Celtic was a massive challenge. I know people say in Scotland if you're Celtic you'll finish first or second, but for Celtic second is last. Second I'm not in a job. You have to finish first. So irrespective of what outside thoughts are, there's still a demand there. And it's not just about winning, it's the manner of how you do it.
"There's an expectation of how you play football, particularly for me because I've always been explicit in saying I want my teams to play a certain way and how we do things. So I've never seen anything I've done as a step up, I've always seen it as a different challenge. Different set of circumstances because whenever it's what people perceive as a step up in level, you're also working with better players and in a bigger organisation with more resources.
"So all of those things are relative. I don't dismiss any success at any level because I can guarantee that whatever we perceive the lowest level of football or life I can guarantee there's someone grafting to beat the relative competition. I've never seen it as a step up, it's just a new challenge for me."
