[스포티비뉴스=맹봉주 기자] On the morning of the game day, coaching staff and players gather to have a meeting.
Tottenham Hotspur announced a good start to the season. They defeated Southampton 4-1 in the opening game of the 2022-2023 season in the Premier League on the 6th (Korean time).
Tottenham Hotspur, who finished 4th in the Premier League last season and qualified for the UEFA Champions League, achieved the best of luck. In the off-season, he spent over £100 million (about 158 billion won) and signed a whopping seven players, showing great expectations for this season’s performance.
Antonio Conte’s system is completely in place. Many analysts point to Conte’s leadership as the secret to Tottenham’s cruise.
Conte, who took over as Nunu Santo in November of last year, took control of the players with his unique charismatic leadership. He achieved results in a short time by tactics of putting both wing-backs in the three-backs and actively ordering the players to exert strong pressure and vigorous activity.
So far, Conte has played 20 games for Tottenham. He won 15 doubles. The win rate is 75%.
As the performance rises, so does the box office. 61,732 spectators came to the stadium for the opening game against Southampton. It was the record for the largest audience at Tottenham’s Futspur Stadium since the North London derby (62,027 people) in May against Arsenal.
There have been many changes within the team as well. Frequent communication between coaching staff and players is a typical example.
On the 8th, the British media ‘Football London’ said, “Tottenham’s experiment in accepting Conte’s request was successful. On the day of the game, Conte, the coaching staff, and players have a morning meeting. There were very few such meetings during Nunu’s days.” said.
