Dejan Kulusevski has revealed that Antonio Conte has been working the Tottenham team extremely hard at Hotspur Way during the mid-season break. With 11 of the first-team squad heading off to Qatar for the 2022 World Cup, those not involved in the competition returned to the club's Enfield base at the end of November to recommence their training following a short break after the 4-3 win over Leeds United.
Kulusevski was one of those to be back early as Sweden missed out on a place in the World Cup finals, thus giving him the chance to get back to full fitness after missing ten games through injury in October and early November. Maybe not having his whole squad to work with ahead of the Premier League restarting once again, there was certainly no let up from Conte and his coaching staff.
"No, he is good," said the Swede when asked about the head coach. "He has been... he don't care about anything, you've just got to do the work. It don't matter if you're cold, if you're hurt. It don't matter if it's dark or if it's raining, you've just got to do the work and that's how it is supposed to be."
