Antonio Conte has remarked that Tottenham have only just started on their project and have plenty of work to do to compete with the top clubs in the Premier League for league titles.
Spurs had made their best start to the season in the Premier League era ahead of their clash against Manchester United, having accumulated 23 points in their first ten games of the season.
However, they were handed a reality check by Erik Ten Hag’s side, who brushed them aside on Wednesday evening.
Conte admitted following his side’s 2-0 loss at Old Trafford that the performance showed that they are still a long way away from being able to go toe-to-toe with the best sides in England (Football.London).
The Tottenham head coach has now reiterated the same message, insisting that the Lilywhites cannot arrive where they want to without going through a learning process.
The 53-year-old told Football.London: “I like to talk about a process. I know we need a process to go step by step, to become a really, really strong team and to become title contenders.
“I like to speak about the process because I know and I feel that this club and this team needed our process.
“Not in 10 months or 1 year, and click, you can do it, everything is ok, you are title contenders and better than City, Chelsea, Liverpool, United and Arsenal.
“You try to do it but you have to know there is a path. This path is compulsory. You have to go through this if you want to fight for something special and win trophies.”
Conte admitted that the speed of the process will be dictated by how much money Spurs are willing to invest in the squad but insisted that he understands the club’s limitations in that respect.
He added: “In this process, you have to involve many situations. Before reaching an important level we have to go through a path and improve the quality, improve the number of players in the squad, especially if we are to play Champions League and Premier League, but this is part of the process.
“Then it depends what we want, a long process, a short process, a medium process. You have the solutions but you have to know we need to have patience.
“I have great respect for the club and what the club wants to try to do but at the same time I know our possibilities are different to the monsters that are in England.
“There is a difference. It doesn’t mean my aspiration is not to fight at the same level, but I think you need to have time, patience, don’t make mistakes in the transfer market. Many situations, but it’s normal for a club like Tottenham at this moment.”

The performance and result on Wednesday was arguably a reality check that all Spurs fans needed, especially since some were dreaming of a potential title tilt this season. Another top-four finish and a Carabao Cup or FA Cup win will represent a brilliant season for the club.
