Eric Dier, a Tottenham player, commented on the influence of Antonio Conte, but also on his character, which is not something that is often encountered!
The players of “Spurs” have been playing better and better since the arrival of the Italians at the helm, and they are slowly approaching the race for a place in the Champions League.
One of the more experienced players revealed to us how the arrival of Conte affected the team.
– There was hard training, which is a good thing. The guys really enjoyed the time of hard training we all spent together. It was really nice to work that way and really try – said Dier.
It is generally known that an Italian knows how to react violently to what the Englishman referred to.
– There are some exaggerated reactions. The manager has an incredible passion and intensity for football, but off the field he is very personal. When we are not training, we are quite relaxed, we have a lot of fun and his professional staff enjoys jokes. They made a singing performance and sang Italian classics. They sang with the same passion they have for football. So, not everything is serious, but when it’s time to work, then it’s time to work – the Tottenham player added.
The players from North London are close to playing at a recognizable level, but it seems that something is still missing.
– Consistency is something we have to work on. Occasionally we know to be really good, but we lack that consistency to do it over and over again. We have to be better mentally. That is something we are focused on now and that the manager told us about. I hope that we will be able to do that during Christmas when there are so many games – Dier concluded.
Tottenham currently occupies the fifth place on the table with 25 points, and in front of them is West Ham with 27.
