I really enjoy it and a lot of attention is paid to set pieces, but at the same time it gives us a lot of freedom in attack. In the first few games we have kept two clean sheets and against Man City it is not easy. I have played here many times and I have conceded many goals.&#8221;\n\nTottenham, who currently leads the Premier League table, has proven to be a well-organized and disciplined team, making it difficult for City to play.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0823%2Fr1535609_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Joao Palhinha scored Tottenham&#039;s second goal in the 2-0 win over Manchester City.\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Joao Palhinha anot\u00f3 el segundo gol del Tottenham en la victoria por 2-0 sobre el Manchester City.\nClive Mason\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\nPalhinha, who joined the team on loan for a season from Bayern Munich, highlighted Frank&#8217;s influence on his decision to return to the Premier League.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>First, the coach who pushed me to come here and showed me the project he has here at Tottenham.
