Pressed by Spurs’ disgruntled supporters after the home loss to Liverpool on Sunday evening, the serial trophy winner Antonio Conte had to speak up and try to relieve a bit op pressure on him and his players.One Salah and two goals enough to leave the dispirited Spurs in the dustThe former Inter boss said something that felt almost unnatural for him – he said that trophies would need years before the London club could challenge Manchester City or Liverpool.”I continue to ask for time and patience because I have the experience to do this. We are far from other teams that are used to winning. If we understand this, it will be good. Everybody wants to win, I am the first, but we need time and patience. If you understand this, everybody is OK. Otherwise, we can lose passion, the enthusiasm. I can’t promise, at this moment, trophies to our fans.”##NAJAVA_MECA_6787159##It must be a sobering experience for Tottenham supporters to hear their manager lower their expectations in such a way. The guy who had previously won four Scudettos, Premier League, FA Cup and many more cups demands more time. The Italian stated that Spurs’ supporters must realize that their team is still developing.”I think that we have to show great respect to our fans in every moment because they are our fans. They pay for their tickets. We have just started a process, and I think we have made a lot of improvement after one year. If someone thinks we are already ready to win, I have to be honest and tell you it will be difficult because when you start a process, you need time and patience.”Antonio Conte ‘can’t promise trophies’ for Tottenham right now 😔 pic.twitter.com/MoA0V7TvLW— GOAL Africa (@GOALAfrica) November 7, 2022 Spurs are currently fourth in the standings and will face a long battle to stay there and qualify for the next season’s Champions League.
