Tottenham and Conte
Conte takes his word to London to work in the 11/2021, while Tottenham is standing on top of the British and two years without Champions League. Since then, Coach Italy created a revolution, helped the team cross the national Arsenal over the British fourth grade.
"Champions League will change your life", Conte emphasise after 2021-2022-20 season. "Tottenham needs to improve the quality and quality team."
With many big teams ready to roll out the red carpet and invite the Italian coach, Kong Di's message and ambition quickly received enthusiastic response from Tottenham Hotspur leadership.
Since the beginning of the summer, Tottenham has spent $ 102 million to upgrade all three routes. Before jerking the blockbuster worth $ 72 million with Brazilian striker Richarlison from Everton, they recruited midfielder Yves Bissouma from Brighton for $ 30 million, taking winger Ivan Perisic from Inter and goalkeeper Fraser Forster From Southampton are all in the form of free transfer. The London Club also reached an agreement of $ 19 million to buy a 21 -year -old DJED Spence right -back from Middlesbrough, and center -back Clement Lenglet from Barca on loan for a year.

Spanish newspaper Marca reports that Tottenham Hotspur have solid defences with Christian Romero, Eric Dier, Ben Davies, Sergio Reguilon or Emerson Royal. The midfield frame is stable, including Pierre-Emile Hoibjo, Rodrigo Bentancur, Oliver Skip or Giovani Lo Celso. The emergence of a full-strength, contentious shuttle midfield like Bissouma will add steel to the whole defensive system.
On the offensive end, with Harry Kane and Sun Xingyu, Tottenham Hotspur has the best striker combination in Premier League history, scoring 44 goals in total. Here are duo Didier Drogba-Frank Lampard (36 goals), Thierry Henry-Robert Pires, David Silva-Sergio Aguero (29 goals) and Teddy Sheringham-Darren Anderton (27 goals).
The Tottenham Hotspur duo have also led the scorer list in the Premier League for the past two seasons. In the 2020-2021 season, Kane scored 23 goals and assisted 14 goals, winning the top scorer and assisted Simona award. Meanwhile, Son joined Salah as top goalscorer with 23 goals last season. Kane has also scored more than 20 goals in all competitions for eight consecutive seasons, while the South Korean striker has achieved this achievement in four of the past six seasons.
But Conte also sees the risk of relying on the attacking pair. Back in January, he asked Tottenham Hotspur to loan Dejan Kulusevski from Juventus for $10.5 million for an 18-month period, with the option of buying $37 million. The Swedish winger quickly earned Conte's trust and formed an attacking trio with Kane and Son. Kulusevsky scored five goals and assisted eight in the first half of the Premier League.
However, in the new season with the goal of competing for the Premier League and going deep into the Champions League, the trio is not enough. Therefore, Conte continued to recruit Richarlison and Pericic this summer.
Last season, Richarlison played irregularly due to injury, but still had 10 goals and five assists in the Premier League, which is equivalent to the sum of Calvert-Lewin and Demalay-Gray. The Brazilian star made a huge contribution to helping Everton emerge from the relegation tragedy for the first time since 1951.
Pericic is 33 but will give Conte more tactical options. Croatian players can play as wingers and even play as wingers in Conte's favourite three-back formation. Last season, Pericic scored 10 goals and 9 assists in 48 matches of Inter Milan, and performed well.
"You have to make the most of every situation. If you come up against a club with a defensive cluster, Tottenham Hotspur have to have creative players to make a difference. When we are at a disadvantage, we have to have players. There are high-speed counter-attacks," Conte analyzed. Apart from Richard Diersson, Pericic … the Italian coach has all the materials needed to make this tactical point.
