2 consecutive losses. 안전놀이터 Tottenham is in a big crisis. But there is no captain. After the surgery, I go to rest while I am away. Still, we are looking at all options to win the team.
On the 19th (hereinafter Korean time), the British media’The Sun’ reported that “Tottenham manager Antonio Conte will be 100% involved in major decisions in the match against West Ham despite being 917 km away.”
Tottenham will play the 24th round of the Premier League in the 2022-2023 season against West Ham at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 20th.
On this day, coach Conte is not on the bench. After complaining of abdominal pain, Conte underwent cholecystectomy earlier this month. It was also predicted that he would be away for a long time. However, he returned after a week. It was a hasty comeback. “I came back with great responsibility, but I underestimated that it was an emergency operation. He has to stop until he fully recovers,” Conte said.
In the end, Tottenham said on the 16th, “Director Conte, who recently underwent surgery, decided to stay and rest with his family at his home after undergoing additional examinations in Italy.” While it is not clear when Conte will return, assistant coach Christian Stellini will lead the team for the time being.
Tottenham are in a critical situation. As time goes on, the dream of winning the Premier League fades away. They lost out to Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United in the championship race. Above all, the possibility of winning the European Champions League (UCL) qualifier next season is also decreasing. In addition, they are losing two matches in a row due to their poor performance. On the 12th, they suffered a shocking 1-4 defeat against Leicester City, and on the 15th, they lost 0-1 in the UCL Round of 16 against AC Milan. A situation in which a change of atmosphere is desperately needed.
The Sun said, “Coach Conte is preparing all options for communicating with the players (against West Ham). Even meeting via video in the locker room is being considered.”
