Former Tottenham star Louis Saha has defended Antonio Conte for his explosive rant on the club following Spurs' 3-3 Premier League draw against Southampton at St Mary's Stadium. Ivan Perisic put the visitors 3-1 up with just over 15 minutes to play, but the Saints, who sit bottom of the league, scored twice in the final quarter to snatch a point from Spurs and Conte.
Following the stalemate, which certainly felt like a defeat, Conte answered just four questions in his press conference, but in those 10 minutes unleashed a brutal rant on a number of topics within the club. "They are used to it here, they are used to it. They don't play for something important yeah?" he said.
"They don't want to play under pressure, they don't want to play under stress. It is easy in this way. Tottenham's story is this. 20 years there is the owner and they never won something but why? The fault is only for the club, or for every manager that stay here? I have seen the managers that Tottenham had on the bench. You risk to disrupt the figure of the manager and to protect the other situation in every moment."
