Conte: To revive Tottenham, it takes more time than just 1 transfer window

Live Bar January 1, Tottenham coach Conte said in an interview that it will take more time than just the next winter transfer window to revive the team and make Tottenham Hotspur advance into the Champions League again.

Conte: Frankly, I've been in football for a lot of years and I want to tell you that to qualify for the Champions League, you need to build it up in a few years, not just in two or three months or just with a transfer market. ”

"If we think about it that way, football is not like that, there are some strong teams in the Premier League right now, they have a good squad this season. Like I said before, it will be very difficult to get into the Champions League, which means there have to be teams that fail. On top of that, I think there are currently four Premier League teams that are favourites to qualify for the Champions League, and there are others that are trying important signings to close the gap with them. ”

"But it's not just one transfer market, or if you make a reinforcement, there's that shift. Football is complicated, it's not just a matter of reinforcement strength, you need to build something important. ”

"I'm working on it in the team but I know it's going to be very difficult because everybody wants to ask about the Champions League thing, but I want to be honest with everyone and tell you guys that we have an important job, a good job and it takes time and patience for the team to start building something important. Now, after two months of evaluation, I'm starting to identify that. ”

As the January transfer window opens, Conte's negotiations with the club's top brass will take place in the coming days, but Conte says it's because he asked for more time in a previous meeting as he still gets to know his players.

Conte: "I asked for time to make the right assessment at the club because a month after I was in office, I had a meeting with the team's top brass. The timing was not right, I did not get the exact information, and I was not able to make the right assessment a month after I took office. ”

'I asked for another meeting to be 100 per cent sure of my assessment of the whole situation of the squad and now I am ready for this and are waiting for a meeting with the club to discuss the matter.'
