Conte begins to realize this after a shocking loss: Tottenham is not an easy situation! – Športky.sk

MARIBOR – Tottenham coach Antonio Conte, according to his own words, quickly realized after arriving at the club that the situation in the team is not ideal. He said this after a shocking loss of the English club to Slovenian NŠ Mura (1: 2) in the group stage of the European Conference League on Thursday.

The “Roosters” are in second place in the G-group only by a score ahead of Vitesse, and even a victory in the final duel against Rennes will not guarantee them advancement to the elimination phase of EKL. In addition, they lost the chance to advance directly to the eight finals of the competition from the first place, as Rennes was four points away from them.

“After three weeks, I’m starting to understand the situation. It’s not easy.” said after the match at Maribor Conte and added: “The level here in Tottenham is not very high at the moment.”

The Italian coach won the league title with each of the previous three clubs (Juventus, Chelsea, Inter Milan). Since his arrival in early November, Tottenham has been promising to return to the top four next season. “Someone may think that a new coach who has accomplished something in the past is a magician. But the only spell I know is work.” declared Conte, according to AFP.

The Slovenian club, which was founded only nine years ago, sent Toni Horvat to the shocking leadership, when in the eleventh minute, after an individual action from the right, he beautifully beat Pierluigi Gollini. After half an hour of the match, Tottenham played weakened after Ryan Sessegnon’s second yellow card. Lucas Moura, Heung-Min Son, Ben Davies and Eric Dier entered the second half. After 72 minutes, Harry Kane equalized for Angla. At the set time, however, he arranged the victory of the home team Amadej Maroš, who in the sixteenth got over two Spurs defenders and scored uncompromisingly.
