Tottenham midfielder Moussa Sissoko is happy playing for manager Jose Mourinho.

With Mourinho now being in charge of Spurs for a full year, comparisons of his time at the helm and that of Mauricio Pochettino are being made.

And Sissoko has detailed the main difference between the two coaches.

"They are two different managers, at the end they all want the same thing, to win games," he told Stadium Astro.

“I would say with Mourinho, we are more solid defensively and trying to play on the weakness of the opponent.

“With Pochettino we were more playing with the ball, more offensive, maybe more creative.

"But at the same time, we were leaving a lot of space behind us.

“Some teams could damage us when we were losing the ball so it's two different approaches to the game, but they still want the same thing - to win games."
