Darren Fletcher has said on BT Sport 1 (1:32pm, May 15, 2022) that Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte was “absolutely berating” defender Davinson Sanchez in the second half against Burnley at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham took on Burnley at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The North London club won the game 1-0 to enhance their chances of finishing in the Premier League top four this season.

Colombia international centre-back Sanchez started the match for Spurs.

Sanchez played on the right of a back-three for Tottenham.

Cristian Romero is injured, which is why Sanchez was included in the starting lineup.

Fletcher was on commentary duty for the match between Tottenham and Burnley on BT Sports.

And he noticed in the 68th minute that Conte was not happy with Sanchez.

Antonio Conte not happy with Tottenham’s Davinson Sanchez

Fletcher said on BT Sport 1 (1:32pm, May 15, 2022): “Just caught my eye. Conte down below us in the technical area absolutely berating Davinson Sanchez for being in the wrong position with Tottenham in possession of the ball. He is micromanaging, the Tottenham manager.”

Micromanaging

We know that Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte likes to be in control of everything that goes on the pitch.

And the former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss not being happy with Sanchez shows that.

It is crunch time in the race for the Premier League top four, and we can understand why Conte wants everything to be perfect.
