Southampton attacker Nathan Redmond has revealed that former manager Claude Puel did not allow the players too much freedom on the pitch last season.
While Southampton did finish 8th in the Premier League last season, they failed to impress with their defensive approach andRedmond has revealed that the reason behind the Saints' negative performances was down to Puel restricting the freedom of the players on the pitch.
Redmond said: "We might have been a bit hesitant at times. I know I was especially. There was a period at the start of the season when I was a bit more free flowing and had a stint towards Christmas when I was a bit hesitant.
"But then when I got in to the England squad, I got back to being free flowing and towards the end of the season after the cup final I was hesitant again.
"It was just that word hesitation and as a whole we just didn't really believe how attacking we could be. That was down to a lot of things.
"But the new manager has come in, he's got a new style of play, way of pressing and everyone has bought in to it."
