Behind the scenes of irked Conte press conference and unfortunate Djed Spence and Doherty moment

Antonio Conte was not in the best of moods as he undertook his media duties ahead of Tottenham Hotspur's Champions League match at Eintracht Frankfurt on Monday evening.

The 53-year-old's press conference inside the Deutsche Bank Park began an hour late, as it did in Lisbon last month, as once again Spurs' flight only touched down on the tarmac at Frankfurt Airport just as the pre-match media event was originally meant to start.

Tottenham's proximity to Stansted Airport and having their own chartered plane means they have the flexibility that when Conte's training session ends they can adjust the loosely agreed time of their flight. So while Spurs were meant to take off at 3.30pm, by the time they got off the training pitches of Hotspur Way, that take-off time had shifted to 4.30pm.
