Antonio Conte has sent a message to Tottenham Hotspur supporters on Sky Sports saying that he ‘wants to change everything’ at the club.
Big changes coming
Tottenham ran out 2-1 winners over Leeds United to send their supporters home happy on Sunday.
However, it wasn’t always such a spirited mood inside the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
At half-time Spurs were booed off by their own supporters, as they went into the break 1-0 down.
Tottenham had put in another insipid display in the first 45 minutes and even under new management the frustrations were too much for some Spurs fans to take.
It led to mass booing as Tottenham trudged off to the changing room at half-time.
And when asked about the jeering after the game, Conte said: “The crowd was with us. I’m sure about this.
“This is a moment there is not a great confidence or feeling, but we must be good to create it again.
“Our fans have to know this, we want to change everything.
“That doesn’t mean we will win every game but for sure we want to fight and create problems every game for our opponents.”
Immediate impact
The good news is that Conte’s changes made an immediate impact for Tottenham at the weekend.
After the break, Spurs became a pressing machine – as they played with an intensity that hasn’t been seen for some time.
Ultimately Leeds could not cope with the attacking quality that Spurs had, as they turned the game around to win the three points.
Tottenham actually ended up running further than Leeds during the contest – which is an achievement only one other side has managed all season.
The signs now look very promising that Conte has Tottenham on the rise.
Spurs are just four points outside the top four, and it would take a brave man to bet against them putting up a real challenge for the Champions League spots, now that they have the Italian boss in their dugout.
