Antonio Conte has revealed that his two new signings, Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur, are working well in their first week of Tottenham training.
Both were signed on deadline day from Juventus and made their debuts off the bench in the FA Cup against Brighton at the weekend. Kulusevski looked dangerous cutting in on his left foot from the right, while Bentancur showed off his no-nonsense nature in midfield.
Speaking in his press conference ahead of Tottenham’s match against Southampton tomorrow night, Conte claimed that both players have a good understanding of the way he wants to play football.
However, he added that Spurs fans may need to be patient as the former Juve pair need time to get into the starting XI, even if he already trusts them as players.
Kulusevski and Bentancur still have their Premier League and full Tottenham debuts to look forward to, although it sounds as though the latter may have to wait.
Conte said (Football London): “I think they’re working very well and I’m pleased with the way they understand our idea of football.
“They are two good players and they’re working very well. For sure they need a bit of time to get into the team and understand the technical aspect, but I know that I can count on them.”
Spurs Web Opinion:
It sounds as though these signings were just as much about profile, understanding, and mentality as they were talent. Having all the talent in the world means nothing if you don’t want to run through brick walls for Conte, we have learned that already.
