Manager unhappy after semi-final defeat at ChelseaSon Heung-min out for month with muscle injuryAntonio Conte will continue to deliver uncomfortable truths to his
Tottenham players because “with good lies, you don’t have a long time to live”. The manager, who has lost Son Heung-min to a muscle injury for the remainder of the month, poured out his frustrations after Wednesday’s dismal 2-0 Carabao Cup semi-final, first-leg defeat at Chelsea.
Conte said the tie had highlighted how far Spurs were from the top level and added that “there is not only a problem of mentality here”, pointing out how
Chelsea had invested heavily last summer on the back of winning the
Champions League. “This is enough to understand the difference at this moment between us and them,” he said.
