Tottenham Hotspur coach Antonio Conte has started to threaten Arsenal. The threat is related to Tottenham’s position, which is now starting to get closer to the top four of the 2021-2022 Premier League.
As is known, the team from London just crushed West Ham with a score of 3-1 in the 2021-2022 Premier League, Sunday 20 March 2022. The victory lifted Tottenham to fifth place, shifting Manchester United.
Currently, Harry Kane et al have collected 51 points. They are only three points adrift of Arsenal, who are fourth.
For this reason, Antonio Conte said the only way to win fourth place was to make every match like a final. According to Antonio Conte, the opportunity for The Spurs (Tottenham Hotspur’s nickname) to put Arsenal in fourth position is very wide open.
For Antonio Conte, to put pressure on Arsenal is to get three points from all the remaining games in the Premier League. Because of that, three points became a fixed price for him and his team.
“There are nine games left and for us every game has to be a final. You know very well that I like to fight,” said Antonio Conte, quoted by the Mirror, Tuesday (22/3/2022).
“I think my past gave me a chance. I also deserve the opportunity to fight to win,” added Antonio Conte.
Although optimistic about shifting Arsenal, Antonio Conte remains wary of improving the performance of Mikel Arteta’s team. Because, in the last match, Arsenal were able to win over Aston Villa with a score of 1-0. The Italian coach called Arsenal currently on the right track.
“They have a good advantage because they have worked with the same coach for many years and they have had many transfer windows with the same coach,” Conte said.
Furthermore, he said, Arsenal is now a tough team. However, Antonio Conte is not afraid and believes his team will give a brilliant performance. “Maybe now they are more ready than us, but in five months we have done a fantastic job with these players,” Conte said.
For your information, in the continuation of the English Premier League this season, Tottenham will again fight against Newcastle on April 3, 2022 later. Tottenham can focus on chasing Champions League tickets next season. The condition is that they must finish at least in fourth position or the limit of the Champions League zone in the English League.
