Redknapp: 'Conte can bring Tottenham into the Top 4'

"Conte revived Tottenham. He energizes the team. In the 2-1 League Cup quarter-final win over West Ham, they fell back in defence and didn't look great in the second half. , but it's a positive result for them. They are playing very well under Conte," commented former Liverpool captain Jamie Redknapp. "I really like what I'm seeing. The Tottenham players are surprising you. Before Conte arrived, nobody thought Ben Davies would play well in every game. Today, maybe he's the good player. first match".

Conte has coached Tottenham since November 2. Except for being excluded from

Conference League (which lost to Rennes 0-3 after refusing to play due to dozens of Covid-19 cases), the Italian coach won positive results in all competitions. In the Premier League, he helped Tottenham win three and draw two - one of which was against Liverpool. Tottenham are currently seventh with 26 points, six points behind the Top 4, but have played three fewer games. In the League Cup, Conte's teachers and students were present in the semi-finals after defeating West Ham 2-1.

Conte's positive influence stands in stark contrast to the dark period of the past two years. Last season, under the guidance of former coach Jose Mourinho and interim coach Ryan Mason, Tottenham finished seventh in the Premier League. Earlier this season, they even dropped to ninth with former coach Nuno Santo.

Redknapp predicts: "Conte is fully promoting the power of Tottenham. They can definitely return to the Top 4 in the Premier League. From the gloom under Jose Mourinho and Nuno Santo, everything at Tottenham is very positive." .

Former Tottenham player Michael Dawson also praised: "Conte is bringing out the best in Tottenham's squad. He has changed the shape compared to the previous game, but whoever comes on the field plays as well as the first team. ".
