Italian press about Conte/Spurs ( copy paste by Google Translate)
The Premier navigates by sight through the cases of
Covid continuously
and a non pandemic management
too consistent, but then when big clubs like Tottenham and Liverpool take the field, even if they have to do without some champions because they are positive (like the Reds with Thiago who left the big match just before the start), show is assured. Antonio Conte quickly got the Spurs back on their feet, which in the first part of the season seemed like a team without a soul. The former Inter and Juve coach arrived at a very difficult time, but he has already conveyed to his players the desire to win and fight for every ball that has always been the hallmark of the teams coached by the Apulian coach. "There is a lot of work to do," he said a few days after landing in London, but from that November 3 to today, Tottenham looks like another team.
It would seem that the
Tottenham showed Inter how Liverpool stop, but it would be an understatement because the intensity of play and the pace that the English teams put on the pitch are hardly replicated by the Italian teams. For sure the Spurs are not at the level of Klopp's team and the Premier League table says it clearly, but having blocked one of the most
in the form of Europe is a great confidence boost for Conte's boys. The first thing Conte worried about was to put Harry Kane back on track: the English national team center forward had returned from a summer tormented by the rumors of a farewell that he had often fueled and the start of the season had been very difficult. Conte gave back to
Kane the absolute centrality that the Tottenham captain was in danger of losing: not just an offensive terminal, but an attacking director and absolute leader of a team that moves around him to enhance his remarkable technical skills. He is not Lukaku because he has other technical characteristics, but like Romelu he is destined to become the driver of the Spurs. The season for Conte is
far from compromised, Tottenham have three games to recover (26 points) and theoretically, winning them all, could reach that fourth place currently occupied by Woolwich (32 points) which is worth qualifying for next season's Champions League, the true which is why he was hired by tycoon Levy.
The season is long and Conte's work is already giving the results hoped for by the club's leaders when they decided to focus on the Italian coach. Liverpool have once again shown great ease in scoring and getting close to the opponent's goal, but also some defensive lightness too, which increases when Van Dijk is unavailable. Klopp with yesterday's draw sees Guardiola's City away (+3), which again this year travels at a very strong pace, but the great expenditure of energy in the English championship will not take away the concentration of the Reds in the Champions League, because the European goal is the one that stimulates Klopp the most. If Inzaghi has seen the game on TV, he will have realized that to have any hope against the Reds, Inter must play at a very high pace and make very few mistakes, trying to make the most of the opportunities that Klopp's team almost always concedes in every game. As did Tottenham.

To be fair Papa Johns is better than Dominos. Then again I haven’t had either for ages as we have a great pizza place near by.

Conte tow Klopp and sends Pep to flight
"We deserved more"
The City at +3 on Liverpool.
The Tottenham coach: "Great performance"
The return of the Tottenham coincides with a great undertaking: the band of Antonio Conte, stopped for two
in a broken way. The Korean lost 2-0 shortly after, allowing himself to be blocked by Alisson on the way out. Very clear copy: 5-3-2 of the Spurs in the closing phase weeks after being swept away by the Covid outbreak and three skipped races, it slows down the advance of Liverpool. The last match of the Premier League before Christmas is a hymn to English football: a battle with no holds barred. Tottenham pass, waste, are reached and then overtaken, but find the equalizer and in the final put the Reds on the ropes, ten from the 79th minute due to Robertson's expulsion. The Scotsman does everything, or almost everything: Diogo Jota’s cross for the 1-1, the 2-1 shot, the red card. A huge thanks to Tottenham’s feat comes from Manchester City: the poker at Newcastle is their eighth straight in the league. Guardiola, having overcome the Covid scare, enjoys Christmas at the top of the tree. Chelsea, stopped at Wolverhampton, slipped to -6, but Tuchel protests: «We had asked for a postponement because the virus has brought us to our knees. I didn't even have the number of players sufficient for the bench ». Today's Premier meeting, with coaches and captains, promises to be fiery.

Kane Randomness sometimes accompanies football and makes it even more fascinating, but behind the superb performance of the Tottenham there is a logic: he has seen the Harry Kane of the good times, the purebred bomber, the driver. The 1-0 of the center forward on the serve
vertically by Ndombélé is a billiard right, which not even a giant like Alisson can oppose. Shortly after Kane wears the clothes of the finisher, but on his service, after a deadly restart, Son arrives
The return of the Tottenham coincides with a great undertaking: the band of Antonio Conte, stopped for two
in a broken way. The Korean lost 2-0 shortly after, allowing himself to be blocked by Alisson on the way out. Very clear copy: 5-3-2 of the Spurs in the counterattack one hundred per hour and Liverpool in trouble because Thiago's last minute absence stole the best form midfielder from Klopp. The young Morton will do it one day, but he still doesn't have the right thickness for a top-level Premier League match. Kane, unleash
risk big when he enters badly on Robertson: do it as an orange. Tierney draws the yellow and Klopp is furious. A duel begins between the German coach and the referee: in the end the warning will force the Reds manager to calm down, even if with the lights out he will return to the question: "I don't know if Tierney has anything personal with the sub- written". Tottenham's latest waste, a safe shot by Alli, is, in reality, a masterpiece of Alisson: deviation of hand in low exit. Naturally, Liverpool equalized: a crush from the Spurs defense, a cross from Robertson and a perfect kick from Diogo Jota.
Show The recovery is for strong hearts. Liverpool want to win, but Tottenham are alive. Kane and Alli are still wrong. Robertson, on the other hand, is not wrong, leading the Reds ahead in the way he does, but the Scotsman commits a nonsense with an intrataccia on Emerson: inevitable expulsion. In Son's 2-2 there is an error by Alisson, but even the sacred monsters are human. Conte is satisfied: «Great performance, the public had fun and we deserved to win. I had carefully prepared the tactical plan to respond to Liverpool's game. The meeting tomorrow (today, ed)? The priority is health ». The City meanwhile flies with Dias, Cancelo - stratospheric performance -, Mahrez and Sterling. Guardiola goes at insane speed: stopping him won't be easy.

Stick to cribbage if I were you mate
They’re not very good, so it‘s not like they’ll see a surge of orders from that tweet, but they’ve lost whatever they get from the Spurs fanbase for sure. Pretty stupid shit really.
I mean this not in any way as a criticism, as the perspective is welcome and interesting, but some of the translations make for some amusing reading.
Alisson, the sacred monster, deviating his hand in low exit, is quite the turn of phrase!
Seriously though, thanks for sharing.
It's so weird seeing the media shit on the dippers for once. Refreshing really.
Unfortunately the Google translator in some cases translates in an absurd way because the construction of the Italian language is different from the English one. But to save time ...I mean this not in any way as a criticism, as the perspective is welcome and interesting, but some of the translations make for some amusing reading.
