Heung-Min Son comments on Tottenham Hotspur’s long balls tactics under Jose Mourinho

Tottenham Hotspur secured their first Premier League away win in 10 months at the London Stadium yesterday, narrowly pipping West Ham United to all three points after running out 3-2 victors.

The crucial win got Jose Mourinho’s reign off to a perfect start, and everyone is keen to see how Spurs will fare under the Portuguese.

Tottenham played an eye-catching style of football under former boss Mauricio Pochettino, with a lot of attention paid to building up possession from the back.

Mourinho isn’t particularly keen on possession-styled football, and he is more notorious for a direct style and his sides’ defensive compactness, and Spurs star Heung-Min Son reckons the players won’t have a problem with the long-ball tactics.
