Ange Postecoglou has asked Tottenham coach to specifically work with £39m player

Tottenham Hotspur defender Pedro Porro is now working with coach Matty 💮Wells on his own to continue improving his game.

Journalist Alasdair Gold on the Spanish player’s rapid improvem🦩ent in recent months while speaking on his YouTube channel.

Pedro Porro was phenomenal on Saturday, earning applause from his teammates onও the touchline during the game.

He looked like a threat going forwards and delivered the cross that Joel Matip turned into his own net ♍in the dying seconds.

The Australian plays with traditional full-backs, while he has spe♋nt all of his career playing as an attacking wing-baꦫck.

There would have been concerns about whether he could adapt to the new role, particularly after some sha♕ky performances in pre-season.

However, Tottenham coach Matty Wells has been working with Porro to help him get up to speed as quickly as possible on his altered positio♎n.

Judging by his performance at the weekend, the work put in on the train🌺ing ground has already made a huge difference.

Speaking about the ma🌃ౠn’s progression this season, : “He’s worked on his defensive aspects of his game so much over the last two months or so.

“And when you add that to his speed, skill, his deli♎very, he’s got a brilliant passing range.

“I’d actually s🥃ay he’s one of the best passers at Spurs.

“And I think what’s rea🦄lly impressive is [Ange] Postecoglou revealed afterwards is Matty Wells the coach who obviously came into help Rya🍒n Mason and has stuck around with Postecoglou because he’s got a very similar kind of mindset to Postecoglou.

“Matty Wells has been working with 🌳his defence and [Pedro] Porro in particular.”

Postecoglou mentioned this after the match as well : “You could s🌳ee today.

“That’s the area he’s working really hard at, particularly Matt Wells and the whole back four, all the defenders have been working really hard with Matty Wells just on their defen⛎sive principles and I 🦹think you’re seeing the fruits of their labour.”

Wells has been at Tottenham for a while ⛦and looks to be getting the best out of P🐟edro Porro right now.

He 🧜initially coached the youth teams at the club before joining Scott Parker’s backr🐼oom staff at Fulham, Bournemouth and Club Brugge.

Postecoglou has figureꦰd o൩ut each of his coach’s roles quickly and the likes of Porro are reaping the benefits.

He’s admitted he’s working hard on the 🎀training ground to reach the levels of some of his teammates a꧋nd right now he doesn’t look far away.
