Antonio Conte has taken aim at Richarlison and accused Tottenham supporters of lacking patience in a fiery press conference
Antonio Conte has accused the Tottenham support of being out of step with the reality of the club’s project, saying their lack of patience with regard to trophies has affected the players, created the wrong atmosphere and made his job impossible.
It was the latest indication of how the death of his close friend Gian Piero Ventrone, who was on his staff as the fitness coach, had affected him. Ventrone died last October. He had leukaemia.
“There are many players, also young players, that need to go step by step to grow. We are trying to build something important but if you don’t have patience, it is un-useful [unworkable].” “We are far from being competitive to fight to win,” Conte said. “I say we need time, we need patience. I see that here the environment [around the club] has no patience or maybe the environment doesn’t want to understand the reality.
