Postecoglu: “Arteta is fantastic, his Arsenal are doing well and the club is supporting him, but I don’t think he is the only manager who has the support of the club. For example, Klopp, Liverpool are also very supportive of him, many teams can be successful because of the goal is clear, the people are not suspicious. There are a lot of teams that, when things don’t go as well as they thought they would, throw themselves into disarray. I admire Arsenal and Arteta, they support each other and have their own vision. We also have our own blueprint, and we don’t have to copy someone else’s blueprint, we just have to figure out what we want to do and stick to it.”

Speaking about the difference between himself and Arteta, the new Tottenham manager said: “I’m 58, he’s 41. I’ve been coaching for 26 years, he’s been coaching for five. He coached in the same country and I coached in several countries. I don’t understand why Arteta’s hair is still so good, he is fitter than me, I wouldn’t say we are rivals, we are different, even if we both believe in attacking football, but his tactics are different from mine, that’s the beauty of football, that’s why you love football.”
