The City coach after the defeat against Tottenham had talked about Spurs “counter-attackers”, on Instagram the ironic reaction of the Italian coach

“Counter-attack? Probably not …”. After Tottenham’s success at Manchester City, Pep Guardiola had defined the Spurs as a team of counter-attackers. An analysis that did not agree with Antonio Conte who replied, choosing irony, posting on Instagram the video of his goals with smiling faces.

TACTICS

In the victory of Tottenham right on the field of the City, the goals of Kulusevski and Kane in fact came from maneuvering and not from a counterattack, even if Pep was referring above all to the general setting of Conte’s team in that match. “After the advantage Tottenhm defended very low and in an incredibly compact way – declared Guardiola – With Kane you never lose the ball, and you can run fast thanks to Son and Kulusevski. They played as I expected, they were good at creating space for the counterattack “.

At the end of the race Conte had preferred not to comment on Guardiola’s words, except to do so a few days later, through a post that renews the sporting rivalry between the two.
