I try to compare him to some other managers and you do think of someone like Maureenio in some senses.

This has caveats to what I'm saying.

But when you see Maureenio enter and he just like he forged this team around his personality and

Ang is the same thing like he makes players believe and if you're not showing that you're 100% in the system, he'll get rid of you.

But for those players who believe and show that they want to follow him, he will do anything for those players and they will do anything for him.

It's Roge with a pod that should be of interest to Premier League fans in general, Tottenham Hots with fans in particular and human beings even more than that because I believe it's a testament to the road less taken.

And a reminder that this current era football is truly global.

Having said that, the journey of Spurs, New, Deeply Charismatic and emotionally intelligent manager and Jp. Koglub from Australia to Greece, back to Australia,

And often, talks about his father, the Mitre, so Jim, as he became known in Melbourne as the true origin of his love and reverence for the sport of football.

He said about his childhood, the only time I ever got to see any joy in my dad was when we went to the football on the Sunday.

I'd make a quick connection. Football was something that made him happy. And if I love this, like he does, it will get me close to him.
