Antonio Conte has revealed he has to ask a lot from his big players at Tottenham, picking Harry Kane, Heung-min Son and Hugo Lloris out of the crowd.
The Italian claimed he does not have a lot of experience in the current Spurs squad and must therefore rely on his leaders to keep the club in the fight for the top four.
Conte also added that 100 per cent effort is no longer enough after some inconsistent Tottenham form since the turn of the new year, and he must now demand 120 or 130 per cent.
However, it appears the Spurs boss still views Champions League qualification as an important and possible box to tick this season.
The Premier League is now Tottenham’s only commitment for the rest of the 2021/22 campaign, having been knocked out of the League Cup, FA Cup, and Conference League.
Conte said (Football London): “You know very well what I think about Harry. He is a really, really important player for us. If you want to fight until the end for this type of target, this is the moment that I have to ask a lot from the big players.
“I have to ask a lot from Harry, Hugo, Sonny and these players in this moment, they have to lead the situation and keep us until the end there. For sure in this moment, experience is very important. We don’t have a lot of experience in this team.
“100% is not enough, we need to ask 120% or 130% to try to help this type of target. It’s very important to have these type of people to lead us and try to be very close.”
Spurs Web Opinion:
Tottenham really do lack vocal leaders on the pitch. Kane, Son and Lloris all lead by example, but I’m not sure we have that kind of vocal captain that orders the troops around on the pitch. Having said that, sometimes leading by doing yields the best results.
