Emmanuel Adebayor: 'Players enjoying football under Mauricio Pochettino'

Emmanuel Adebayor has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur's players are being allowed to enjoy themselves under head coach Mauricio Pochettino.

Spurs have started the new season with two successive victories, and Adebayor believes that it was clear in Sunday's 4-0 thrashing of Queens Park Rangers that Pochettino has already made an impact at White Hart Lane.

"It's important to start well, especially at home," the striker told the club's official website. "We'll take a lot of confidence from this game.

"We're improving, kept the ball well and played as a team. We all have fun and enjoy it as well. The gaffer asks us to get on the pitch and enjoy ourselves. We had the right ambition and did the job from the first to the last minute."

Pochettino replaced Tim Sherwood earlier this summer after leaving Southampton.
