Antiono Conte admit there is improvement in the Tottenham team following the victory in the London derby.
Tottenham hotspur manager Antonio Conte admits there is improvement in his team mentality following the London derby win over Arsenal.
Tottenham hosted and defeated the Gunners 3-0 last night with Arteta’s men going a man down in the game.
Both teams are in the top 4 race in the Premier League as the point between the London teams have been reduced to 2 points with Arsenal in the fourth position.
Speaking after the game last night Conte said: : “You know very well in this type of game, a must-win game, it’s never easy. There is a lot of pressure on your shoulders. Tonight, only one result was good for us, to win and get three points in a difficult game, a north London derby, and to win 3-0 was good for us, good for our fans.
“Tonight, also I was a bit curious to see the way we approached this game. For this reason, what I’ve seen tonight made me happy. It means that this team is improving not only on the pitch, but also in mentality. This is not easy, not simple, but we are working really well, in only six, seven months, you can see that we’ve had a lot of improvements in many aspects.
“For sure, I have to say thanks from me and from my players to our fans, because the atmosphere they created tonight was amazing. I ask them also on Sunday… I understand it will be difficult to wake up because we play at 12 o’clock, but we need this atmosphere, because with this atmosphere, my players are ready to give not only 100 per cent, but 200 per cent.”
