There has been criticism of the overseas fans who attend games at Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
"I think that is very hard," said the manager. "Let me explain why, because I'm probably both plastic and the tourist, because I come from the other side of the globe and am very passionate about football.
"If I could get access to watch a Premier League game, it would mean the world to me.
"Sticking a label like 'plastic' or 'tourists' on them I think is unfair. Just because they live on the other side of the globe.
"This club has fans all over the world who don't always have access to matches and I think we have to be able to accommodate them.
"That does not make them less passionate. I think it's very disrespectful to call fans 'plastic' when they pay to come over to the other side of the globe. You have no idea how passionate they are."
