Tottenham Hotspur coach Antonio Conte praised Spurs duo Harry Kane and Ivan Perisic after their English Premier League victory against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.
Conte noted that Tottenham had collected 7 points so far by beating Southampton and Wolverhampton and drew with Chelsea, despite losing to all three teams the previous season, giving Spurs confidence.
Tottenham won a critical Premier League third-round encounter against Wolverhampton due to Kane’s goal off Perisic’s assist (1-0).
They caused us some problems in the first half, they didn’t have many opportunities to score, but they were more dangerous than us, we dominated the second half and had more chances to score, Conte said on BBC after the game.
It’s not simple to play against Wolverhampton, a difficult team with incredibly powerful players, said the Italian coach.
Remember, we lost last season to Wolverhampton Wanderers, Southampton, and Chelsea; this season, we have 7 points from three games, which gives us confidence, he remarked.
Conte continued, “I have a bunch of players in the dressing room who have fantastic relationship, and I think this is incredibly important.”
You know how important Harry Kane is to us, so it makes me extremely happy when he scores, especially when it helps the team win. We were talking about a world-class striker.
He’s like the rest of the squad; he battled a little in the first half, but in the second half, I saw Perisic, who I remember from Inter Milan, he remarked of Ivan Perisic’s debut.
Conte: I identified Harry Kane as a world-class attacker.
