Conte already impresses

Antonio Conte will sit on the Tottenham bench this Thursday to face Vitesse in the Conference League And there he will begin a journey where he has to completely turn around a team that has lost all its personality. In the Premier, Spurs wander in the middle of the standings (9th) leading several of the championship’s negative stats. The Italian will first have to give strength and force to his systems, in addition to having the mission of reactivating his attack men, since both Kane as Son have not reached their best version at no time this season. Thus, he has several pending tasks, although the first contact could not have been more positive.

“The hard work starts now”. That is the message with which the coach introduced himself to his new players. This is how the ‘Daily Mail’ exposes it, which has shared how the first hours of the Italian have been as spur. He was not yet able to direct his pupils, since he is waiting to receive a work permit, but that did not prevent him from impressing them. He arrived at 3:00 pm and explained his intentions: he will be there for everyone, “but as long as they give him 100% in return.” In addition, the aforementioned medium adds, that the oldest stars on the team, led by Kane, were deeply impressed after the first contact. As soon as the work permit is ready, the ‘Conte era’ will truly begin.

Kane’s redirection

What’s more, with English specifically, it seems to have gotten off on the right foot. And it is that, according to the British press, Harry has abandoned the idea of ​​getting off the ship spur. Conte’s previous background convinces him, he understands that it is a winning bet and that was the only reason he wanted to leave Tottenham, the lack of titles. After a summer in which the striker had one foot out of the team, and after his frustrated signing by Manchester City, Kane has returned to wear the Spurs shirt but current reality has deprived the English striker of his best version. To date, Kane has scored seven goals in 14 games played, although five of the goals have been in the Conference League. or in its qualifying phase. In fact, the only league game in which he has contributed a scoring quota, with his only goal and his only assist of the championship, was against Newcastle, penultimate in the table. In the midst of an identity and leadership crisis in the squad, the presence of Kane is an extra that Londoners must take advantage of … and a responsibility that Kane himself must assume as captain of the club. Now, with the Italian, an expert in boosting his ‘9’ (see Lukaku), everything could change. For now, Kane has changed his mind.

Bad results

Tottenham started the Premier League with three victories in their favor, three goals in favor and zero against. Thanks to three consecutive 1-0 or 0-1, the Spurs went to the first selection break with a plenary session that made us dream of the best. However, from there, everything has changed. In the following seven days, five defeats (against direct rivals such as Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal or West Ham) and only two victories in a hurry. The poor results and the defensive identity and lacking of ideas They were the two decisive points when it came to dispensing with Nuno Espirito Santo, who was not able to solidify the team or make it progress. In the Conference League things are not going much better, as Spurs are third in their group after a win, a draw and a loss. After only 17 games, the Portuguese is out.

Negative data

Only nine goals in favor, the third worst team in the Premier League tied with Southampton (9) and surpassing only Norwich (3). What’s more, they have barely fired 103 times on goal in these 10 games played (19th worst team) which has led to four full games without scoring (18th worst team). As if that were not enough, they do not score or shoot … because they do not create too many chances, with only 71 so far in the championship (19th worst team), and they cannot boast of distance covered per game either, since with 98.9k of average per game are the 20th team in the league. Finally, they have lost up to three games by three or more goals, the same as Norwich, with whom they share the dubious leadership in this statistical section.
