Spurs coach Antonio Conte recently spoke with Football.London. The Italian gave his review on the signings he has made this season.
Conte said: “First of all, the most important thing is that all the players, except Oliver Skipp, have trained and trained well.
“In this moment we have two players, Ivan Perisic and Doherty, they have to continue to work and reach the peak of fitness because after a long injury they are struggling a lot. We need to have patience.
“But today it was positive to give them a lot of time to play again for Matthew and Ivan. Bissouma is also a player who has to come into our idea of football.”
“I’m happy for Lenglet, for Clement, because he came in with personality. We need a player to play, to play with personality, to have the quality to play football, also to attack. It was positive,” added Spurs coach Antonio Conte.
“It’s positive that Ben Davies has recovered. I didn’t want to take a risk today because we have another week to work and to bring him in the best physical condition so he doesn’t feel pain in his ankle. Now he feels a bit of pain. He was ready to play today but I didn’t want to risk it.
“Richarlison I liked a lot the way he impacted the game. We need this type of player. Richarlison to start the game or go into the game, he can have a big impact. For us, it’s very important. We need him behind Sonny, also Kane and Kulusevski. He is an important player because we have a lot of games to play.”
