CONTE LOVES PRESSURE

TOTTENHAM coach Antonio Conte is thriving on “the stress” of the Premier League and insists a life of “tea and biscuits” is not his style.

The Italian’s passion for the game was on full display in midweek when he kicked out at water bottles and argued with the opposing bench as his side slipped to a 3-2 defeat against Southampton.

Spurs are now seventh in the table, four points off the Champions League places. “If you don’t want to stress then I think this job is not good for you,” 52-year-old Conte said ahead of a home game with Wolves this weekend.
