Eric Dier reveals Ange Postecoglou does no tactical work in training

Bayern Munich defender Eric Dier has revealed that Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou does no tactical work in training.

Dier, who spent ten years at Tottenham left the north London club in January to join German giants Bayern Munich.

The 30 year old who has been capped by England 49 times was a key player for Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte during his time at Spurs as he amassed 365 appearances for the club.

Postecoglou does no tactical work in training?

Postecoglou arrived at Tottenham from Celtic last summer and didn’t take a shine to Dier with the defender only playing four times in the Premier League as he tumbled down the pecking order.

In an interview with Gary Neville on The Overlap the former Spurs man opened up on his time under the Australian and revealed what is was like to work with Conte.

Dier left Spurs for Bayern Munich in January after ten years in north London.

“Interestingly, he really doesn’t do any tactical work in training”, Dier said.

“What he does is, every single training drill from Monday to Friday is drawn up to represent the way that he wants to play.”

On Conte the Bayern defender added: “Conte, I could do it blind, but that was a lot of tactical work Monday to Friday, a lot of ten versus zero, walkthroughs, you were so well drilled, it would be engrained in you.”

Dier didn’t win anything during his time in north London with Spurs twice finishing runners up in the League Cup and losing the 2019 Champions League final to Liverpool.
