Winning every game is impossible’: Antonio Conte

-

TOTTENHAM boss Antonio Conte thinks it will be “impossible” for his side to win all five of their remaining Premier League games.

Striker Harry ane said earlier this week that his side had to have a 100 per cent record between now and the end of the season if they were to pip Arsenal to Champions League qualificat­ion.

Spurs would be guaranteed a top-four finish if they did take 15 points, beating their north London rivals along the way, but Conte knows how tough that is going to be especially as they also have to visit Liverpool next weekend.

“I think if you win five games, probably you get a place in Champions League,” he said, ahead of Sunday’s visit of Leicester.

“But in England it’s impossible to think that in every game, you are going to win. ou won’t.

“We have to go step by step, and game by game. On Sunday we face Leicester and you know very well they have a really good squad. For sure it will be a difficult game.

“We have to go step by step and understand that this is a big opportunit­y for us and we have to face every game with great enthusiasm, great passion and with joy. “Also to share this joy with our fans because we are fighting for something special. For this reason, this type of situation has to give us a lot of energy for the final games of the season.” Spurs have come unstuck in their last two games against teams who have sat behind the ball and not allowed their front three space to attack, resulting in zero shots on target.

Conte is determined to stick with his 3-4-3 formation, despite injuries to wingbacks Matt Doherty and Sergio Reguilon.
