The result sees Spurs remain fourth in the table but have played two games more Newcastle United And liverpool,
After the game, Conte hit out at the players for the way they had failed throughout the campaign in all competitions.
Conte told the BBC, “I’m really upset because it’s not the first time and I think today I can tell you it’s an upset because we’re winning 3-1 and 15 minutes in and I think That you have to win.” Play.
“Instead we showed it the second time, things started improving last season but we lost the characteristic of last season. I don’t want to talk about the technical aspect, the emotion is missing.
“We are not a team. We are a team that everyone is thinking of themselves. When you are like this, it can happen, you lose against Sheffield United and leave the FA Cup and Together AC Milan And to finish that run you are winning 3-1 and in the last 15 you can give them a chance to come back. I don’t see the sense of responsibility of the players.
“It’s difficult now – we’re trying hard to move forward with this group and in the right direction. We’re going backwards, I see a lot of negative situations and a lot of selfish situations and players that I don’t like. I know how to beat teams, I have beaten a lot of teams in the past, winning teams.
“Now instead we’re going backwards, no one’s interested in that. I’m very frustrated about this because me and the staff live every day to think of ways to improve. Honestly, it’s time I I have to take responsibility, the employee, the club but also the player.”
Speaking at his post-match news conference, Conte also appeared to take a dig at the club’s ownership.
“They’re used to it here. Don’t play for something important. They don’t want to play under pressure. They don’t want to play under pressure.
“The story of Tottenham is this. Twenty years of ownership and they have never won anything. Why? The fault lies only with the club, or with every manager who lives here. I have seen managers who were on the bench at Tottenham.
“If Tottenham want to change then it is time to change this situation. If they want to continue like this, they can change the manager, a lot of managers, but the situation cannot change. Believe me.”
Spurs also face a significant injury concern after the tear richardson Had to happen was withdrawn within the first five minutes.
