Every word Antonio Conte said on returning to Tottenham and what would be a successful season

How does it feel to be back and what was it like watching from afar?

Yes, yesterday was positive and my feeling was really, really good. You know the importance for me to work with my players, to stay together and work with the staff and prepare for the game. From afar, I tried to stay very close to my staff and the players with the video and try to be linked. But, you know well, to be present is totally different. Totally different. I have to thank the whole staff, did a great job. Also, it wasn’t easy for the players to be three weeks without their coach. I know this.

Now I am back, I’m really happy and we have an important game. It’s a vital game for us because want to go to the next round. We will try to do it and, for this reason, I hope to feel an amazing atmosphere in our stadium. Many times our fans gave us the right boost to overcome a difficult situation. We are playing against a team that won the league in Italy, last season. We are talking about a really good team.
