Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma admits he felt an instant rapport with manager Ange Postecoglou when he arrived over the summer.
Bissouma has been one of the big success stories under the Australian.
"Yes, it's a very, very big reason. It's a very big reason. You should know that six months before the end of last season I had already prepared for this season, because I am a fighter and I won't accept a situation if it remains negative. I take full responsibility when it's time to work to change things," the 27-year-old told SpursPlay.
"So when I was injured, at the end of last season I was already preparing for this one, right? So I came in, there was a new coach. We see football the same way.
"He talks to me before training, he gives me all his trust, he explains. After that it's up to me to do things well. You have a coach who understands football, who tries to talk to you as well. It felt so nice! It has been a long time since anyone said anything to me.
"Sometimes you know you have something, but when people who know more than you tell you, it gives you even more confidence. I was already confident but what Ange told me was special. It changed something. You know?"
