‘This is the first time in my career to see a situation like this,’ Conte said during his rant, which lasted nearly 10 minutes.
‘Because they are used to this here. Don’t play for something important. The players don’t want to play under pressure. They don’t want to play under stress. It’s easy this way.

‘Until now I try to hide the situation. But now no, because I do not want to see what I have seen today because this is unacceptable.

Meanwhile, Dejan Kulusevski revealed the mood in Spurs’ dressing room following their draw with Southampton, which leaves them fourth in the Premier League although they could be overtaken by Newcastle United and Brighton if they win their games in hand.
‘No, absolutely it feels like a loss,’ Kulusevski told Spurs Play.
‘We needed this win, we know that these three points was very, very important and we prepared the game a lot this week so we are very disappointed.
‘Not much words inside there [the dressing room].’
