Antonio Conte’s Tottenham have won five of their last seven Premier League games, with Newcastle United next up when the league action returns next weekend. Spurs’ managing director of football Fabio Paratici has been speaking about the club’s progress under Conte and, ahead of the visit of Eddie Howe’s side discussed the new focus the north London side have
Fabio Paratici said: “We are in a very good moment, not just about winning games but about the performance of the team. “The team improved a lot. You enjoy when you watch the team and Antonio has done a fantastic job and the players too. They are working hard. Every day they are so focused, so committed, so we are much better than four or five months before. This is the most important thing for us. In every club it is important to have a winning mentality, in the Premier League even more because the competition is high level and every game is tough. Every game is tough. You don’t have one game that you can win easily, So there are a lot of surprises. Winning mentality is not about just winning games, but also working hard, the culture of work, being committed, being focused every day in your job, to improve yourself and the team every day. This is the winning mentality that is so important for every team and every club.”
