„Tottenham“ returned to official matches after 2 weeks, as they had to miss 3 consecutive matches due to a COVID-19 outbreak in their own club and one match due to an outbreak in the „Leicester“ camp. Antonio Conte's players returned successfully - they fought to a draw at home against the „Liverpool“ team - 2:2. After the match, the Italian praised certain players to whom he gave a rare opportunity. „I told my players that on one hand we showed good performance and had a chance to win against one of the best teams in the world, not just in Europe. We earned a point and in the end it can be a good point,“ said A. Conte, referring to missed opportunities by „Tottenham“. „Harry Winks' performance was good and it was not a surprise to me. He works very hard in training and he impressed me with his desire to play. He is a very good player and when he plays as a central defender in the number 4 position, he is very, very good. „Dele (Alli) also had a good performance, and when we play in a 3-5-2 tactical formation, Dele is very good and has the skills to run forward. „Also, Sessegnon had a good performance. I know that if we want to improve and raise our level, we need to work with each player individually so that they improve. If they improve, we will raise the level of this team. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to remain competitive,“ said the „Tottenham“ strategist.
