Eric Dier has explained that Antonio Conte has created an ‘uncomfortable environment’ at Tottenham to encourage competitiveness within the squad.
Conte has continued to put his stamp on Spurs since his arrival at the club in November, following the departure of Nuno Espirito Santo.
The 52-year-old has managed to lift Spurs back into contention for a Champions League place, with the club currently sitting fourth in the Premier League ahead of rivals Arsenal on goal difference.
Three wins in a row on either side of the international break came following a rough spell of form where the side struggled to put together a solid run of results.
And Dier, who has been a mainstay in Tottenham’s defence under Conte, has revealed the Italian has made sure his players do not rest on their laurels in trying to push each other to improve every day.
He said (Sky Sports): “I think it’s what the club needed [appointing Conte]. Comfort is the enemy, he has created an uncomfortable environment and he’s trying to create that more and more.
“That keeps you on your toes, it pushes you so you can’t settle or get too comfortable. It’s easy to fall into that trap at a club like this where you have an incredible set-up, an incredible training ground, incredible stadium.
“We need to try and really push on as a club and as individuals within that and try and take us back to where we were a few years ago and then past that.
Asked to elaborate on how Conte has made Dier himself more uncomfortable in a positive way, he added: “The way in which he pushes you and he’s never satisfied and he wants you to never be satisfied.
“He constantly wants more from you, he demands a lot and I find that a very enjoyable environment to work in.”
"Comfort is the enemy, he has created an uncomfortable environment."

Spurs Web Opinion
Conte has developed this rigid and structured style of management over the years and he has the type of profile a club like Tottenham needs right now.
You can see his blueprint is there but he doesn’t have the personnel to push for titles just yet, which is where he needs competitiveness within the team to be consistent.
