Tottenham Hotpsur boss Antonio Conte believes his side should have defended better against Milan, and dropped a fresh hint that he is thinking about his future. Spurs conceded after just five minutes in their Champions League tie against the Rossoneri, and while the Premier League side had chances of their own, they failed to capitalise on long periods of possession.
Speaking in his post-match press conference (via the Daily Mirror), Conte was once again asked about his future at the club and conceded that he doesn’t know if he will remain at Spurs after the summer:
“I don’t want to talk about the future but as a former Italian national manager people know how much Italy means to me, It’s in my heart. I will never exclude the possible idea that I will be back here one day.”
“For qualification you have to play two games. It is the first game away and the atmosphere was fantastic.
“I know the San Siro and I know the difficulty to play with this atmosphere. In the second game we have to play at our stadium and our fans will create the atmosphere to help us overcome the Milan obstacle.
“I think we played against a good team and don’t forget Milan last season won the league in Italy. I think that to concede the first goal we can do much better.
“Instead we concede a goal after maybe only 5 minutes. Then we try to lead the game and create a situation to score but I think Milan defended very well. We created the chances to score but in the end we are talking about a defeat, a loss.”
