Tottenham manager Antonio Conte was not in a good mood after his team’s defeat by Manchester United (2:0).
His team sent only two shots on goal in 90 minutes, a little to achieve a better result.
“It’s only been 10 or 11 months, you can’t go from ninth place and immediately become title contenders, especially when you finish the season 20 points behind the monsters in England,” Conte said.
Despite the defeat, Tottenham remained in third place with 23 points.
“This was certainly not a good match for us, but I have to be honest, especially with the players, because this was not the first time we played like this. Despite the fact that we are in a good position at the table, every time we played a high-level game, we struggled. That’s how it was with Chelsea when we equalized after the 92nd minute, then Chelsea dominated, we lost to Arsenal, and now we are defeated again, by United. When it’s a tough match, we struggle. We have to try to progress. We can, we just have to keep working, and it’s up to us at the club to analyze why things like this happen to us in matches of the highest demand”, concluded the manager of the London team.
