In the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals, Spurs will face Chelsea without Son Heung-min, with two low-level turnovers by a Spurs defender in the first leg giving their opponents two goals. Last week's match against Mokham, although the opponent was only a relegation team in League One, in the end Conte had to send Kane to solve the problem.
Speaking about the fact that Tottenham have not found a substitute for Kane in recent years, Conte also gave his opinion unabashedly: "I think, especially in the Premier League, because the level of this league is very high, you have a lot of games to play. And a team has to be both ambitious and competitive, so outside of the goalkeeper position, you have to reserve 20 players. ”
"That is, there are two players in every position. Of course, as a manager, it's hard to get Kane on the bench. But if you encounter a schedule like Tottenham's last time, 17 days and 6 games, every coach will definitely rotate and ensure that the team does not differ too much in strength between the two squads. Otherwise, it's hard for you, the coach, to rotate players because you want the best. But you also have to know that if you want to be competitive, you need two players for each position. Conte said.
When asked if it was difficult to find a striker who was at the same level as Kane, after all, Spurs had approached Janson Llorente Vinicius before, but the level of Kane was really too different. Conte replied, "It's certainly not an easy task, but I always have to take precautions, in case Kane gets hurt." Honestly, I hope it never happens, but Belwin may be able to make a no.9 appearance. If you have to give Kane a break and don't have the right No. 9 player, you have to pick from the team, then there's still this player to choose from. ”
Earlier, at the pre-match press conference against Chelsea, Conte also called out again the request for Levi to buy someone to improve the squad, and Conte said that if he did not buy someone, then he could only improve on the existing squad. Tottenham's veteran O'Hara is pessimistic that if Levi does not buy Someone for Conte in January, Conte could leave at any time.
