In the early morning of January 20, Beijing time, a make-up match in the 17th round of the Premier League was staged, and Leicester City, which played at home, ushered in the challenge of Tottenham Hotspur. With a magical substitution by manager Conte in the final moments, the trailing Tottenham hotspur team staged a stunning comeback, scoring two goals in the last minute to win Leicester City 3-2 and score an incredible 3 points! After this game, Tottenham Successfully overtook Arsenal in front of them and temporarily rose to 5th place in the table, just one point away from the top four.
Before talking about this game, let's turn the clock back to last October, after the 3-0 defeat at home to Manchester United, Tottenham hotspur coach Nuno was dismissed, and Italian coach Conte was in danger and took over the team's coaching whip.
At that time, Tottenham fans had little expectations of the home team, they had lost 5 of the last 7 league rounds, and the points had already slipped to the middle of the table. Fans no longer fantasize about winning the title, and even the Champions League seat has become a luxury. Even if Conte is in charge, can he still lead the team to rebirth?
As a result, Conte told everyone with his performance that he really could!
Prior to this match, Conte had led the team to play 8 league games, with a record of 5 wins and 3 draws, and had not lost. Compared to his predecessor Nuno, a huge improvement has been achieved. After Conte took charge, Tottenham's ranking has also gone all the way up, and if they can win Leicester City away from home, Spurs can surpass Arsenal in front of them and temporarily rank fifth.
However, Leicester City is not a soft persimmon, as the former Premier League champions, their strength is also very strong, in the Home of the Blue Foxes, Manchester United and Liverpool have planted a heel, and the scene of the game quickly confirmed this. Leicester City scored by Dhaka and Madison to take a 2-1 lead. Seeing that the game time continued to pass, Conte made a big swing in the 79th minute and replaced the Dutch winger Berwin, and his magical substitution finally affected the direction of the game.
In the 6th minute of injury time, Belwyn scored inside the box to help Spurs pull the score to 2-2. However, the drama was not over, after the Leicester City kick-off, Spurs quickly cut off the ball, Kane took the ball in midfield and sent a delicate straight foot after a little observation, Belvin quickly inserted to form a single knife. He shook off goalkeeper Schmeichel and pushed the far corner to win, and in the final moments of the game, he completed the deadlock, allowing Leicester City to see the hand's 3 points, which became 0 points!
And Conte's magical substitution adjustment has also become a place that many fans talk about after the game. However, for Manchester United fans, their mood may be a little bitter, because before taking charge of Tottenham, Conte's closest team was originally the Red Devils Manchester United. At that time, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team had a poor record, Manchester United intended to change the coach, and the Red Devils found a successor, which was Conte. However, Manchester United did not change the coach decisively in the end, and the top management chose to give solskjaer a little more time, and as a result, after the league defeat to Manchester City, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was still out of class. It's just that at this time, Conte is already in class at Tottenham, and naturally it is impossible to take over Manchester United, and the Red Devils have rubbed shoulders with the Italian coach.
Seeing Conte's results now, I wonder if The top management of Manchester United will regret it?
