Antonio Conte claims post-Mura comments about Tottenham are still true

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has admitted that despite his team's good results, his opinion on there being a gap in quality between Spurs and the best teams in the Premier League has not changed. The Italian stated after Tottenham’s 2-1 loss to NS Mura in the Europa Conference League last month that he realised his side was a long way off the best teams in England. But since the loss to Mura, Spurs have won three of their four games and drawn the other against Liverpool. When asked about his comments after the loss to Mura and whether he has been surprised by how quickly the team has been able to improve their level, Conte told Football.London:

“For sure, when I speak and I tell something, I don’t change my opinion but at the same time I have to try to improve the situation in every aspect.   “I always said to improve the level of the Tottenham team, I have to improve the level of every single player. The only way I know is to work, to work with my players and to improve my players.   “I don’t complain about situations that could be positive or negative but when I spoke, I said something and it was my opinion.   “But at the same time, we are working, we are working very well and working every day in a hard way to try to improve every single player because this is the only way to improve the level of Tottenham.   “I think the gap with many teams exists and we have to know this. This shouldn’t be an alibi for us or an excuse but only a boost to try to give more, more and more.”
