Togolese superstar Emmanuel Adebayor has said he bears no grudge against Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino and described his relationship with him as "beautiful."
And he told The Sun: "Our relationship was beautiful. I think we have a very good relationship, man to man. We always talked and he told me: 'Manny I don't count on you any more,' which I understand.
"I realised my time was over at Tottenham and that I had to move on."
However, Adebayor was less positive about his relationship with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, saying: "Obviously with the club itself I didn't have a good relationship and with the chairman because -- and you know Daniel Levy better than I do -- he makes everything complicated.
"But at the end of the day I know where I am from and when you want something you have to stand strong for it. And I stand strong for what I think is my decision.
"Obviously people will judge you, but at the end of the day I know what I have been through in my life and I know what I have to stand for. So I stand for it."
Adebayor is likely to get a mixed reception from Spurs fans on Sunday, but said: "Tottenham are happy -- they are playing quite well. I am happy -- I am playing for Crystal Palace.
"We both move on as a club and as a player but I cannot say I am the winner. There is no winner in this battle."
