British media football.london reported that Spurs boss Conte talked about Son Heung-min, who did not play well in this game, after losing 2-3 to Manchester United.

In this 3-2 loss to Manchester United by Tottenham, Conte's insistence on the 343 formation did not work. Facing a midfield trio of Pogba, Nemanja Matic and Fred, Bentankull and Hoybel were limited in their defense, and Ronaldo's first goal was also due to Bentankur's easy loss of position. Due to Tottenham's lack of ability to play the ball in the midfield, coupled with United's contraction of defense, Spurs' rapid counter-attack could not play, and the tired Son Heung-min Kane could not get more support. During the game, Son Xingyu slipped several times, which also highlighted his tired status quo.
After the game, a reporter asked Conte how to comment on Son Heung-min's performance, and the reporter asked: "Son Heung-min is very hard-working, but in the final stage, it seems that he lacks confidence, can you help or does he need to solve it himself?" ”
In response, Conte replied: "It is difficult to come up with a player alone to comment on, because Son Heung-min played a phenomenal performance in the last game against Everton. Son Heung-min is the kind of player who can destroy an opponent alone, but I think winning is a matter for the whole team, and losing is also the responsibility of the whole team. Of course, there must also be players who are very important to the whole team. ”
"There are a couple of players in Tottenham who are very important to us and we need them to keep coming up with a highlight. Son Heung-min also played well in this game, he really gave everything for Tottenham. Some races you'll go well, some races you'll slip. Yes, Son Heung-min slipped twice in this game, yes twice, which is a pity because in this important situation, you could have had a chance to score. However, Son Isung-min is a very important player for Tottenham, he is a player who can make a difference for Tottenham. Conte said.
After losing the game against Manchester United, Tottenham's hopes of hitting the top four in the Premier League are already very slim, and for Conte, keeping the top six in the Premier League may be a more realistic goal. For Levi, it may be necessary to think ahead about how to keep Cairn Conte or even Son Xingmin.
