Conte: “Kulusevski and Bentancur ok for Tottenham. Scudetto? Inter wins”

The Tottenham coach not completely satisfied with the Spurs transfer market: “We bought two players, four left. On paper we could be weakened.”

“Time and patience”. Antonio Conte preaches calm, even after the three consecutive defeats in the Premier League. Returning to England in November to start a new adventure with Tottenham, the former Inter manager is today in the midst of his first negative moment on the Spurs bench. Chelsea, Southampton and Wolves managed to snatch three points from Kane and his teammates in the last league outings, the next match – Saturday at 6.30 pm – will see Conte’s team host the leaders of the City: “An almost perfect team, with a coach, Guardiola , which I think is the best in the world “.

little confidence

Interviewed by SkySport, the Lecce coach made his club’s ambitions clear, trying to reduce the pressures of the last period: “Tottenham has no intention of buying players ready to compete for the top positions. For some time now the team has not been able to stabilize itself above the central part of the standings, with these conditions it is normal for confidence in one’s own means to fail at times “.

distant champions area

The seven points away from Manchester United – currently fourth and therefore in the Champions League zone – according to the Spurs fans who did not hesitate to reveal their discontent, however, are too many in mid-February. “I am serene – explained Conte – because I am happy with how we are working. Certainly, patience will be needed before reaping the benefits of what has been done so far, considering that we have many young players, their first experience in England. It is not easy, they have need to acclimate, improve and raise their level “.

the two former Juventus players

Kulusevski and Bentancur are not an exception: “They are two ideal players for the club’s project, they have a lot of time to grow and play continuously at very high levels but they are not ready yet.” The arrival of the winger and the midfielder from Juventus, however, were not enough to make Antonio satisfied with the winter transfer market: “We bought two players, four left. Lo Celso, Gil, Ndombele and Dele Alli were very important for we, on paper, could also be weakened from a numerical point of view. I did not expect a similar reversal, especially during the current season. To reach important goals in a short time, players with experience behind them would be needed: their contribution would allow the whole group to improve “. Finally, a look also at “his” Italy, where at least three teams are still in full swing to win the Scudetto. Conte has no doubts, “Inter will do an encore”.
