Referring to Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, he told the Overlap: I really enjoyed those six months, apart from not playing at all," he said I really enjoyed the style of play, the style of training, I think he has fantastic coaches, and his team talks were great.
Interestingly he really doesn't do any tactical work, what he does is, every single training drill from Monday to Friday is drawn up to represent the way that he wants to play."
He continued: (Antonio Conte) 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."
Antonio was probably the manager I played my best football under and aside from a manager, I really liked him as a man, he was a very honest and kind man.
I remember his meetings were just incredible, the intensity he would bring to his meetings and the intensity he would bring to training every day, himself, I thought was just incredible."
Dier added on Pochettino: He was fantastic at giving us the basics as young players.
His attention to detail was incredible, he gave us great fundamentals on the pitch with body shape, the way you moved your legs all these things, he was obsessed with those details."
I was incredibly lucky, going to him, he was completely unfazed about playing a young player and before I signed for Tottenham, I spoke to Luke Shaw and James Ward-Prowse at Southampton and that was really why I thought it was worth taking the risk."
I'm sure they didn't expect us to do what we did in the space of the next couple years, but what we were able to do was a lot down to the manager."
