After the match Tottenham Hotspur cii coach Antonio Conte said ,”You must have belief, belief in the team, in the possibility that in only two minutes, you can score another goal. As I said before, to lose this game, even to draw, it wasn’t right.
At the end, we won the game, and we deserved to win this game. Until the end, you have to be concentrated, to be focussed and not to give up, be ready to fight until the end. This must be our philosophy, then, if the opponent deserves to win, we are the first to clap then. Otherwise, until the end, we have to fight.”
