[스포츠서울 | 정다워기자] The British press is sensing a change at Tottenham Hotspur.
The British media Daily Mail highlighted the change of Tottenham Hotspur through the fight between Son Heung-min and Seville’s Gonzalo Montiel through a report on the 18th (Korea time).
Son Heung-min and Montiel collided following the first half of the pre-season match held at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 16th. Montiel approached Heung-Min Son and protested, and Heung-Min Son showed a nervous reaction. Eventually, the conflict spread to the entire squad between Tottenham and Sevilla. Players from both teams were mixed and the fight grew bigger. It was a pre-season event, but the overall atmosphere of the game was bloody. Regardless of the reason, it was a scene where you might feel the passion and desire of the players from both teams.
The Daily Mail also emphasized that Spurs players are changing through this scene. The media said, ‘Tottenham manager Antonio Conte is developing Tottenham into a street fighter.’ The challenge for the trophy is our top priority,” he said, saying that Tottenham are being reborn as a stronger team to win.
Tottenham are enjoying their first pre-season with Conte. Since Conte took over during the season last November, he didn’t have a pre-season with him.
Tottenham, who stayed in Korea for the past week, had a very tight training schedule. Athletes famous for good physical strength, such as Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son, were shown to be in trouble during training, such as kneeling or vomiting.
Tottenham Hotspur are aiming for the trophy for the upcoming 2022-2023 season. Tottenham Hotspur have been reborn as a prominent player in the English Premier League, but they are still far from winning the title. They haven’t won a championship since winning the League Cup in 2007-2008. Next season with Conte from the beginning, he is starting rough from the pre-season to ascend to the throne.
