Tottenham's interim boss Ryan Mason wants to reconnect disenchanted fans with their side following the sacking of Jose Mourinho.
The Portuguese was fired on Monday after a disappointing run of form scuppered any hopes of reaching the top four and the 29-year-old Mason, who retired three years ago after suffering a serious head injury, has been handed the job until the end of the season.
During Mourinho's four-month demise since topping the Premier League table, fans were unhappy with Spurs' pragmatic style of play and frustrated that attacking talent was left on the bench.
"You can do all the preparation in the world but until you're in that moment, then you'll know. The most important thing, for me, has always been my attitude, my family, the people that care about me, the people around me that have been so humble and have helped me along all the difficult moments I had as a player.
"Then, obviously, having to retire as well. Which was a massive thing.
"But I just think the way I live my life, the way I think. I want to be positive, I want to be happy, I want to have experiences that I look back on when I'm older and enjoy the moment and work hard.
"Obviously, all the moments I've had in the last probably 10, 15 years as a player, maybe they've shaped me to where I am today.
"There's obviously a lot of work to be done, there's going to be some moments as well but listen, I feel good, I feel comfortable, I feel in a good place and hopefully that can transmit to the players."
