Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has sent a message to his teammates regarding manager Antonio Conte.
Conte has used the Dane consistently since his arrival and would even single him out for praise after Spurs’ drubbing of Newcastle United this past weekend.
Now, Hojbjerg has moved to return the favour. When speaking recently the defensive midfielder labelled Conte a special coach and urged his teammates to now ‘go with the flow’ and see how far they can take it:
“Antonio is a special coach, with a special way of doing things, with a very high level of performing. There is always a time of adaptation, a time of understanding the sports side and also the personal side, and everything is coming together well,” he said.
“It’s important now to go with the flow and see how far we can take it, because the team is evolving very positively. That creates a platform where we can perform at a really very high level. We’re climbing the ladder, so it’s difficult to stop and look back down, we have to keep going and stay focused on the next challenge ahead.”
