Report: What Conte kept shouting at Spurs defenders against Bournemouth
The Athletic have revealed that Antonio Conte kept shouting at the Tottenham backline to move the ball faster against Bournemouth on Saturday.
Conte is always an animated figure on the touchline and The Athletic recount the myriad of emotions that the Italian head coach went through at the Vitality Stadium as he saw his side go 2-0 down before completing a sensational turnaround.
The report explains that during the first half, the 53-year-old was not happy with the pace at which his defenders were moving the ball.
He repeatedly yelled “faster, faster, faster” to Davinson Sanchez and Clement Lenglet when they moved the ball casually across the back.
The report states that the Spurs players were, at times, not responding to Conte’s demands for brisker and more incisive passing.
The Italian is also said to have encouraged Ben Davies to make runs down the left to double up with Ryan Sessegnon and yelled the same at Emerson Royal at the start of the second half.
Conte is alleged to have become even more animated after Spurs levelled the game at 2-2 and were going in search of a winner.
The Athletic reveal that the Tottenham boss was extremely frantic in the latter part of the game, playing every pass, making every run, and taking every shot.
Spurs Web Opinion
The biggest difference between our performance in the two halves on Saturday was the pace and intensity with which we moved the ball.
Once we started moving the ball quickly, Bournemouth found it very difficult to close down the spaces.
That is something that was missing in the first-half, with Sanchez and Emerson, in particular, being guilty of taking their own time in possession.
