Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou says they’ll play to win today against West Ham.
Spurs kickoff their preseason programme in Perth.
“We’ll look to lay down some markers in terms of how the team wants to be,” Postecoglou told SPURSPLAY. “We’ve had some emphasis on certain aspects of the kind of football we want to play.
“Some of the boys have been at it for a couple of weeks, some of the others only a few sessions, but we want to see that the information is getting there and for them to apply that in a game scenario.
“Hopefully we’ll see some indications of that because they’ve certainly been really receptive as a group about what we’re doing and hopefully we’ll see some elements of that get through, be injury free and get some match conditioning.”
The manager added: “It’s something we’ve obviously focused on. It’s going to be part of our football. Pre-season is all about laying down foundations, also working on conditioning and the beauty of working at an intense level is that it does both, it’s who we’re going to be as a team but also helps us get the boys up to the kind of fitness levels we’re going to need. Again, the lads have embraced that aspect of it, and the coaches have been brilliant at driving it.”
