Conte: We have to show in every game to be better than last season

Added at:

Speaking to SPURSPLAY, Tottenham's manager Antonio Conte reflected on victory over Leicester:

“It was an important win, to get three points was vital for us. I thought we started well, but after 10 minutes we conceded a penalty. Then, Hugo was good to save the penalty, but to have another bad situation was not so good for the confidence, but, at the same time, we were very good to score the two goals.

“After that, we lost a bit of confidence to play the ball, I saw my players a bit scared, I don’t know why, but we have to work on this aspect.

“In the second half, we have seen another game, we played with confidence, with great energy. In the first half, around 20, 25 minutes, we didn’t have so much energy. In the second half we had a lot of energy. That means that maybe we have to improve our mentality and manage that well.

“I’m happy because we played a good game and it was important for my players, because after a loss in the Champions League... and, honestly, I was disappointed with this loss in the Champions League, when you play a game and you deserve to lose, I’m first to recognise that. Honestly, we didn’t deserve to lose this game, and, for this reason, I was very disappointed.

“I spoke with my players, I said after a defeat that a good team, a team that wants to think to go to another level, has to have a good reaction, quickly and I’m happy, in the second half, under difficulty, I saw a great reaction from everybody.

“We have to show in every game to be better than last season. The competition is very high, very difficult. We have to fight to try to do our best and, in our hearts, in our minds, we have to have the ambition to be competitive, to fight for something important.”
