Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has called on Antonio Conte to be more open with his Tottenham players in wake of his furious post-match press conference at Southampton. Throwing away a 3-1 lead with Saints drawing level from the penalty spot in stoppage time, the Italian pulled no punches in a very honest ten minutes with the media.
Getting plenty off his chest as he hit out at the players and delivered his thoughts on the club, the 53-year-old's job in north London is now on the line with 13 days until their next Premier League fixture against Everton. Having seen the vast majority of the squad jet off across the globe for the first international break of 2023, Conte's outburst was put to Hojbjerg when he was speaking at a Denmark press conference on Monday.
The midfielder, who was expecting a question on Conte going on his initial reaction, has opened up on the current situation and outlined that he believes the Spurs boss should "elaborate" to his players on his feelings and that his explosion maybe would not have happened had they not exited the FA Cup and Champions League.
