Manager Harry Redknapp lashed out at manager Antonio Conte.
In an interview with Britain’s ‘Talk Sports’ on the 5th (Korean time), Redknapp criticized Conte’s recent public statements. After their last defeat to Aston Villa, Conte has openly stated that the prospects for the season, which saw Tottenham as favorites, were overstated. He also said that Tottenham’s realistic goal is 5th place.
The reason Conte made this statement was the difference in the quality of the squad. Compared to Tottenham, the power of other Premier League (EPL) big clubs is too strong. This is in line with Conte’s constant request for investment from the club. Fans expected Conte to cut off the history of the military, but Conte insisted that his role was ‘rebuilding’. From a fan’s point of view, Conte’s image is understandable, but on the other hand, you may feel disappointed. 메이저놀이터
Manager Redknapp, who accompanied Tottenham from 2008 to 2012, was in a completely different position. “Tottenham have a fantastic squad,” he said. “I’m not sure who to sign. I don’t know who else to recruit. They have World Cup-winning and runner-up goalkeeper and World Cup-winning centre-back. They also have Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. I think it’s a really good squad.” Conte pointed out.
Redknapp then said fans’ expectations for Tottenham weren’t so wrong. “Before the season started, I thought Tottenham was a team that could catch up to Manchester City,” he claimed.
It is already far from winning the league, but it is still possible to enter the top 4. They are currently only two points behind third-placed Newcastle United. Rodrigo Bentancur, Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison should return and perform like they did in the second half of last season. Reviving Son Heung-min’s scoring ability is also a task up to coach Conte.
