Tottenham Hotspur failed at the hands of Jurgen Klopp’s men as Liverpool beat Spurs 2-1. The Tottenham fans didn’t hold back as the Lilywhites’ slow start lead them to a 2-0 deficit in the first half. Antonio Conte has now responded to their loud boos.
Conte on Spurs’ Boos:
Spurs managed to perform well in the second half as Harry Kane managed to pull one back, but their terrible first-half performance was enough for Liverpool to grab all 3 points.
Responding to the terrace taunts, which could be heard at half-time and the final whistle, Conte told reporters: “First of all I think that we have to show in every moment great respect for our fans because they are our fans, they pay the ticket. At the same time, if you ask me if I was a bit disappointed [by the booing]? Yes. Yes because it is important in every moment to be honest.”
“I think I continue to repeat always the same situation from the start of the season and I say we have just started a process. I think after one year we made a lot of improvement.”
“If someone thinks that we are already ready to win, I have to be honest with you and tell you it will be really, really, difficult, because when you start and Liverpool is a good example, when you start a process, you need time and patience. If we understand this, time and patience, everybody is okay. Otherwise we can lose the passion and we can lose the enthusiasm.”
