Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has hit back at suggestions that he does not focus enough on tactics.

Former Spurs defender Eric Dier, who is now at Bayern Munich, came out with such a comment.

He stated the Australian was more focused on style of play, rather than targeting specific opposition with tactical tweaks.

Dier told The Overlap: “Interestingly, he really doesn't do any tactical work (in training). What he does is, every single training drill from Monday to Friday is drawn up to represent the way that he wants to play."

When told about the comments, Postecoglou responded: “I would probably say we don't do anything apart from tactical work.

“That's all we do every day. If we're working on our fitness, we're still trying to play our football.

“If you're talking about do we do training where we're standing around and working on how we're going to stop an opposition, no we don't do that. But I don't think that's the only kind of tactical work that exists.

“Anyone who trains with us will tell you that all we do is train the way we play. Maybe that's not tactical work, I don't know!"
