“We are going to face, in my opinion, the best team at the moment and one of the best teams in the whole world”, said Conte. “We are talking about a team that is full of high level players and for this reason we have to play well, very well, to try to leave with a good result”, said the coach.
“We must play game by game,” he continued. “Of course, we will have two difficult games, because they are second in the table, normally they win the league and this season I think that, alongside Arsenal, they are the favorites to win the Premier League. It will not be easy, it is normal, but at the same time it can also be a big push for my players to try to give it their all and deliver a good result for our fans”, he concluded.
“To win against Manchester City you need to not make mistakes” 🗣

Conte also praised the quality of Erling Haaland. The 22-year-old Norwegian striker arrived in the Premier League this year and is having an incredible debut season. In the 17 games played in the competition so far, he has scored 21 goals. According to the coach, Tottenham should “pay attention” to the player, who is one of Manchester City’s main weapons.
“We are talking about a young player, but at the same time I think his status is important. He is proving to be a very strong player, he has scored more than 20 goals. It is incredible, in his first season in the Premier League, to score like that.” Yes, we have to pay attention (to him), but we have to pay attention to all Manchester City players, because, I repeat, we are talking about a very good team”, evaluated the coach.
Tottenham and Manchester City face each other this Thursday, at 5 pm (Brasília time), for the seventh round of the English Championship, which is delayed. At the Etihad Stadium, the team led by Conte will try to win again in the competition. At the moment, the Londoners are in fifth place, with 33 points, and are looking to get closer to Manchester Unitedwho has 38.
