Under Ange Postecoglou’s reign at Tottenham, a notable transformation has swept through the squad, with players like Pedro Porro, Heung-Min Son, and Richarlison showcasing remarkable improvement compared to the previous season. Among them, Yves Bissouma stands out as a player who has experienced a massive upturn in form.

Discussing his current mood at Spurs on the Ballroom Podcast, Bissouma expressed his happiness, emphasizing that he is now enjoying playing his style of football. The podcast’s host, Gaetan Bong, delved into Bissouma’s contrasting sentiments during his first season at Tottenham, prompting the £25 million midfielder to admit that he didn’t enjoy that initial period.

In a candid exchange with his former Brighton teammate, Bissouma shared, “I’m really happy, you know, finally I am playing my football. This is the connection because you didn’t say anything, but I know what you’re talking about. I want the people to understand how much I know this guy. You didn’t say it, but what I feel is that last year you didn’t enjoy it, am I right or wrong?”

Bissouma affirmed, “Yeah, you’re right.”

Bong acknowledged Bissouma’s preferred style of football and the importance of having a manager and people who believe in him. The midfielder, known for his expressive play, faced challenges adapting to a more pragmatic approach under Antonio Conte during his first year at Tottenham.

The conversation sheds light on Bissouma’s journey from discontent to rediscovering joy under Postecoglou this season. As one of Spurs’ standout performers, he has flourished in a more conducive environment, highlighting the stark contrast between his experiences in the Antonio Conte era and the current positive trajectory under Postecoglou.
