Serial title winner Conte plays down Spurs’ chances and lets rivals deal with the pressure

Tottenham Hotspur are playing in the Champions League and are slowly growing into the team their coach Antonio Conte wants them to be. The man who has won titles wherever he went has surely got trophies on his mind. But he’s wise enough not to say it out loud just yet.Oh, my Son!Conte saw his team thrash Leicester City 6-2 on Saturday night with substitute Son Heung-min getting off the bench to score a fantastic hat-trick. Even though it was a great match, Conte told English media that he’s not considering his Spurs side one of the title contenders.”When you want to be competitive and fight for something important. We have just started our path because, in my opinion, our squad is not still ready to be strong compared to City, Liverpool and Chelsea – then we fight also with Arsenal and Manchester United.”17 – Tottenham’s 17 points from their seven Premier League games this season is their joint-best record at this stage of a campaign, level with 2016-17 when they finished as runners-up to Antonio Conte’s Chelsea.

Otherwise, they continue to play every game, but they don’t go to win anything. This is clear. Clear. It happened in the past here, and I repeat, I want to try and change. I want to try and change to bring this team to another level. I will try to do my best. But I’m not worried about this. For sure, it’s not easy. It’s not simple. But I have to get the best decision in every moment.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6651581##
