Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou expects a gauntlet today at Brentford.
Spurs open their Premier League campaign at Brentford on Sunday.
I don't think we'll see much of a difference from Brentford, particularly playing at home," said Postecoglou to SPURSPLAY. They create a fairly unique atmosphere that drives the players and it's a great challenge for us.
Physically, it's a very demanding game, they work hard as a team, they're well organised, obviously a threat at set pieces, so, we need to be prepared for all that.
At the same time, we've been working on the way we want to play our football, as well. That's going to be important in the first game, that we set our stall as to the type of football team we want to be. If we can do it in the first game of the Premier League, particularly at a place like Brentford, then that lays the foundations for us."
As for his first competitive match in charge, Ange added: It's exciting, any time you start a new challenge and looking forward to it. We all love the involvement we have, but it's the games we all look forward to and cherish. That's where the most impact occurs. So, looking forward to getting the season started."
