Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte’s reaction after Spurs’ embarrassing defeat to Middlesbrough has been under some scrutiny in the media recently.

When asked about his reaction, Conte said that his reaction was that of disappointment and frustration due to the inconsistencies in results at the club.

He said, “My reaction was that I was disappointed. Frustrated for the result, for sure to have this up and down.”

He talked about how his team has failed to maintain any consistency and that it would take a long time to instil stability in the team.

He said: “For sure, to have this up and down I don’t like. I always said this from my first day when I arrived.

“Tottenham’s story is this, many ups and downs, but to be competitive, to try to win something, to try to fight for something important and become a strong team, the first thing that has to happen is to be stable and avoid these ups and downs.

“To do this and to change this type of situation that is happening for many, many years in Tottenham, it’s not simple.

“In a short time, it’s impossible to do this, not only for me but I think for any manager or coach to come in and change the story in one second.

“This [is the] story of this club for the last 20 years.

“Especially when this club for 20 years has this type of situation.”

The inconsistencies in results were much more highlighted in the previous few games, as Tottenham managed to defeat league leaders Manchester City but went on to lose against Burnley and Middlesbrough.

Antonio Conte commented on the medical department in England and expressed his disappointment about the lack of communication between the manager and the doctors.

Conte said: “It is a pity I think in England that sometimes you should have a conference with the medical department.

“The doctors, it is too easy for the doctors to work here because they don’t speak, they don’t explain what happens, you understand?

“Sometimes I think that could be good, one day, if in two weeks, to have a good press conference with the medical department to explain about the situation of the players, about the situation that they are trying to take care of their players. It is too easy for the medical department in England, I think so.”

Tottenham host Everton next week, followed by the game against Manchester United, a very important couple of games for the Spurs if they want to make advances in the Premier League top 4 race.
