Celebrate Tottenham's One Point Against Chelsea, Conte: You Need Time, Patience And Step By Step
JAKARTA - Tottenham Hotspur coach Antonio Conte is grateful for his team's one point achievement when they drew 2-2 in the second week of the Premier League at Stamford Bridge Stadium, London, Sunday.
Quoted from the club's official website on Monday, Conte said there was a big difference compared to the previous season where Tottenham had lost three to Chelsea.
In this match Tottenham Hotspur had fallen behind twice but were able to secure the position through Pierre-Emile Hojberg and Harry Kane kicks to force the score to 2-2.
"It was an intensive game in many aspects, not only tactical, but also this type of game, if you don't show great personality and character to stay in the game it's difficult. We are talking about one of the best teams in England, in Europe, ' said Conte.
The Italian coach continued, he had to pay tribute to his players who had fought desperately to stay in the game and secure a good result for his team.
"If I have to compare this performance with last season, for sure I can see good things. At the same time, I have to be honest, we can do better," said Conte.
"We could have played better with the ball, being calmer, apart from this, eight months ago the situation was very, very difficult."
"We worked really hard and I really enjoyed working with these players. We have to carry on because to reduce the gap with a team like this you need time, patience and going step by step. It's a good point, if, on Saturday , we will win against Wolverhampton," he concluded.
