Postecoglou's future has been called into question on the back of successive Premier League losses, seeing Spurs slip to 12th in the table.
Many have criticised the Australian's stubbornness with regards to altering his attacking style of play, but Pereira believes he should stick with it.
"I love it. I appreciate it a lot because we competed against each other in Asia," Pereira said. "He is a manager with different ideas.
"He has very offensive ideas and it means they are a team that can score a lot of goals.
"We need to be at our best level to compete with them. The game will be very hard for us."

— Wolves (@Wolves) December 28, 2024Pereira is aiming to become the first Wolves boss to win his first three matches in the top flight, having so far beaten Leicester City and Manchester United since succeeding Gary O'Neil.
Those wins have lifted Wolves out of the relegation zone, while Spurs are now 11 points adrift of the top four after losing to Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
Tottenham are without at least eight players for the home clash with Wolves, but Postecoglou is bullish heading into 2025.
"Our league position is not great but it's super tight and we're not that far off," he said. "We're in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup and still in a great position in Europe and there's also the FA Cup.
"There's still everything to play for. For us this year to make it a season where we can have success, but we need some help.
"The players need some help and, more importantly, the club is working really hard to try make that happen."

Tottenham - Dominic Solanke
Solanke has struggled for away goals of late, most recently firing a blank against Nottingham Forest, but he has been involved in seven goals in his past six home matches in all competitions (six goals, one assist).
The England international is now aiming to score in four successive home appearances for the first time since October 2021 when doing so in six straight games for Bournemouth.

— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) December 27, 2024Wolves - Matheus Cunha
Cunha scored in the win over Manchester United to make it three goals in his past three matches, while going further back he has been involved in 11 goals in his past 10 Premier League outings.
Pool A will consist of the defending champion Railway Sports Promotion Board (RSPB – Indian Railways), along with Indian Army – Red, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL), Hockey Maharastra and Hockey Unit Of Tamil Nadu (HUTN).
In fact, he has had a hand in 22 goals in 2024 (16 goals, six assists), which is the second most by a Wolves player in a calendar year in the division after Raul Jimenez (24 in 2019).
MATCH PREDICTION: TOTTENHAM WIN
Tottenham have lost each of their past three Premier League games against Wolves, which is their longest ever such streak in this fixture.
Indeed, Wolves have won four of their past five league matches against Spurs – as many as in their previous 19 games against them.
The four Premier League losses suffered by Postecoglou's side since the start of December is also their most in a calendar month since December 2003 (also four).
However, Tottenham have only lost their final league game in one of the past 15 calendar years, albeit coming against Wolves in 2018.
Not since 2017, meanwhile, have Wolves won their final match in consecutive calendar years, which they are looking to achieve after beating Everton 3-0 12 months ago.
