Ange Postecoglou says Tottenham intend to ‘scare the life’ out of Arsenal in Sunday’s north London derby while insisting he and Mikel Arteta cannot be compared as artists.<\/p>\n
Postecoglou on Friday said trying to copy another manager’s attacking philosophy would be like trying to duplicate a Picasso, and the Australian hopes his own approach can secure Tottenham their first Premier League win at Arsenal since 2010.<\/p>\n
Postecoglou saw Arteta in action when he managed Yokohama Marinos, who are one of Manchester City’s affiliate clubs. Arteta was a coach under Pep Guardiola at the time and Postecoglou said on Friday: ‘I spent a week at City when I first got the Yokohama job. I observed training and you could see then how passionate Mikel was about the game.<\/p>\n
‘We’re not close. I’m 58, he’s whatever. I’ve had 26 years (in management), he’s five years into it. He’s managed in one country, I’ve managed in a few. I’m not sure how he’s got a great head of hair! He’s a lot fitter than I am. I don’t know, mate, there’s not a lot of threads I can join between us.<\/p>\n
‘I wouldn’t say we’re opposites. We’re different. Even in the way his team plays. Yes, he does have a very attacking philosophy but it’s different from mine and that’s the beauty of the game.<\/p>\n

‘It’s why you can’t copy. If you’re an artist and you see a Picasso, yeah, you can copy it, but it’s not going to be a Picasso, is it? It’s the same with football.’<\/p>\n
Further quotes emerged on Friday from the midweek Tottenham fan forum in which Postecoglou was asked whether he will approach games differently against better sides.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a warning to Arteta’s Arsenal, he said: ‘In terms of the way we play, we’re not changing, mate. We’ll go out and scare the life out of them.’<\/p>\n
Expanding on that on Friday, he added: ‘If we shy away from it, don’t play our football, manage to get a draw and survive the experience, what have we really learned? Apart from surviving 90 minutes of football? Nothing. We’re going to go out and play our football.’<\/p>\n
