Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte believes that they can pull off a top-four finish on the back of alternating wins and losses in the Premier League. They are set to take on top-four rivals West Ham which is one of their games in hand. Conte has referenced the amount of time he has been in charge and the improvement has been made on quite a few occasions. Arsenal currently lead Spurs by six points.
“At this moment now I have great confidence. My feeling is good because I’m seeing great improvement,” Tottenham manager Antonio Conte said. “We are working very hard in these five months [that he’s been in charge] but now I’m starting to see great improvement of my team in many aspects: not only on the pitch but also outside, with the mentality. I think we’re preparing to have another step and it will be very important to finish the season in the best possible way to continue to give us the confidence and to continue to believe in the work we’re doing.”
“I see improvement in many aspects. Technically, tactically, and now after four months and a half, the players are understanding very well what I want with the ball, without the ball,” he added. “We are having a bit more time to work on a specific situation on the pitch, we’re having a bit more time to work about the mentality and it happens especially after a defeat. For instance, after the defeat against Manchester United, I think we deserved much more. We lost the game but when we lose this type of game you have to learn a lot and try to improve. And on the mentality aspect, to understand there are games where you have to be strong, you have to be a killer.”
