Antonio Conte criticises Tottenham Hotspur ownership and ‘selfish’ players

A furious Antonio Conte says his Tottenham players are “selfish” and the club “can change the manager but the situation cannot change” in a scathing attack on the ownership.

The Spurs boss said his team “don’t want to help each other” after a 3-3 draw against Southampton on Saturday.

“Tottenham’s story is this – 20 years there is this owner and they never won something. Why?” Conte said.

Spurs had led by two goals at St Mary’s but conceded twice in 15 minutes.

“The fault is only for the club, or for every manager that stay here,” said Conte. “I have seen the managers that Tottenham had on the bench. You risk to disrupt the figure of the manager and to protect the other situation in every moment.

“Until now I try to hide the situation but not now because, I repeat, I don’t want to see what I have seen today because this is unacceptable and also unacceptable for the fans.”
