"Going To Marseille Without Being Accompanied By Conte, Spurs Feeling Like 'In Other Worlds

JAKARTA - Tottenham Hotspurs assistant coach Cristian Stellini revealed that his club seemed to be in another world ahead of the away game to Marseille' headquarters. This was revealed by Stellini because Spurs had to leave without the main coach, Antonio Conte.

In the final match of Group D of the 2022/2023 Champions League phase, Spurs must attend the Velodrome Stadium without Conte. The coach is banned from attending the match in the early hours of the morning due to a red card in the match against Sporting Lisbon due to strong protests at the referee.

With a winning mission at Marseille's headquarters to qualify for the round of 16, Spurs must have prepared the best ammunition possible. But, for Stellini this trip without Conte, it feels like going to another world.

"It (the absence of Antonio Conte) is really a tough change, but we have to prepare for a game like the rest of the world," Stellini was quoted as saying by AFP, Tuesday, November 1.

Stellini also felt a marked difference in preparation for the match to Marseille. Because, Conte was also absent during training and the team had to work on preparing everything without the coach.

"It's a completely different world because usually a few days before the game, Antonio will make all the preparations himself. But now we have to do all this together, so everything changes. We have to prepare a strategy and it could be complicated," Stellini said.
