The Premier League offers us great posters every weekend. The first of December is no exception to the rule. This Sunday, Manchester City, second across the Channel, hosts Tottenham who, after having had a fantastic first three months, had a chaotic month of November to say the least between managerial injuries and frustrating defeats. This meeting will also be exciting from a tactical point of view between Ange Postecoglou, who revolutionized the often too stereotyped Spurs game in a few weeks, and Pep Guardiola, a reference in this field for more than a decade.

Asked at a press conference about his counterpart, the Catalan coach was very complimentary: “People like Postecoglou make football better. I really like watching his teams: their way of pressing, of using the goalkeeper at the start, of transforming the full-backs into attacking midfielders… I had never seen that before. I have never seen that ! It’s his idea. What Ange has done at Japan, Celtic and now Tottenham is incredible. I have said many times that I am a coach, but also a spectator. I like his game. Everyone in England sees that he is doing well.»
