Under Conte, Ali was also given the opportunity to prove himself. In the match against Liverpool, in the face of the shortage of major generals, Conte sent Ali to the starting lineup, and Ali played quite well. Ali then continued to get a start in the Premier League game against Southampton, but the performance was very disappointing. In the FA Cup match against Mokem in League One, Ali started again with Ndombele and Locelso, and the result was that all three played quite badly, and finally all three left the team before the winter window transfer deadline.
According to the transfer contract, Ali's move to Everton is zero value. Over the course of two and a half years of his contract, Everton would pay Tottenham £10 million for every 20 games played, and if played 80 games, Everton would pay Tottenham a maximum of £40 million. For Tottenham, dumping a player who earns £150,000 a week but can't make it into the starting line-up is also good news for the club's finances.
In the pre-match press conference against Brighton in the FA Cup, Conte was also asked by the media about Ali's departure. Conte replied: "It's a good thing for both the club and the players, a good decision. I think Ali needs another experience, another challenge in life. Ali is a good guy and I certainly want to tell him and thank him for the time he spent working with us. But I think this decision is a win-win choice and I wish Ali good luck to players on loan to other teams. ”
At the press conference, Conte also offered harsh criticism of the team's release of players bought at high prices in previous seasons in the winter window. Conte believes that the players who spent so much money on loan were not released on loan after a season or two. Conte's spearhead is also directed at Tottenham's previous director, Hitchon, and this director Paratic.
