Welcome, Conte. That’s the writing on most of the banners that spread among the audience for the Tottenham Hotspur versus Vitesse match , early this morning WIB. Of course, the figure in question is Antonio Conte , the new Spurs coach.
The banner is not empty, but there are other frills. There is the club logo, the Italian flag, the moment Conte was introduced to the public to the love logo. All of that led to one, namely the hope that Tottenham Hotspur could stretch, both at the level of the English League and European caste.
Antonio Conte responded positively to all this support with real results at the start. Not being able to immediately use all the assistant coaches brought from Italy, Conte was able to insert his style of play into Song Heung-min et al, including the selection of starters.
As a result, Tottenham Hotspur beat the Dutch representative with a score of 3-2. One thing that caught the attention was the ‘brutality’ of Antonio Conte’s inaugural match on English soil.
In addition to the five goals that were created, Conte’s debut for Spurs saw three red cards: one for his team, and two for the opposing side. Spurs’ Cristian Romero had to leave the field in the 59th minute after fouling Loïs Openda.
Hot atmosphere
At that time, the atmosphere was already hot in the field. Understandably, Spurs’ three-goal advantage was almost equalized by the opponent. The Lilywhites were in front thanks to goals from Son Heung-Min (14′), Lucas Moura (22′) and kills Jacob Rasmussen (28′).
The last name fully paid for his mistake after tearing the Spurs goal in the 32nd minute. Seven minutes later, Matus Bero reduced the goal difference. After that, the second half was hot and brutal thanks to three red cards that came out of the referee’s pocket.
Besides Cristian Romerto, two other players were Danilho Doekhi in the 80th minute and Vitesse goalkeeper Markus Schubert. The goalkeeper had to leave after clearing the ball outside his area in the 84th minute.
Antonio Conte admits that his first match with Tottenham Hotspur was extraordinary. He did not expect the three-goal advantage to almost be chased by Vitesse in just 10 minutes.
In the second half, we had to work hard for about 30 minutes armed with only 10 players. I give high appreciation to the players,” said Conte.
Now, the Tottenham Hotspur public and football lovers around the world will be waiting for the next lunge. Yup, this weekend, Antonio Conte will lead his troops to visit Everton headquarters in the 2021/2022 Premier League .
