Antonio Conte has stated that he will give Dele Alli “the possibility to show his talent” at Tottenham. Yet to play for the new boss after failing to come off the bench on Thursday against Vitesse in the Europa Conference League, the Italian has stated that he has told every single player that they will be given their chance in the team providing they show him that they deserve to play.
Antonio Conte said: “I remember very well when we played against Tottenham in the past, specifically one game when we lost after 13 wins in a row and Dele scored twice. But this is the past. Now there is a present and for sure Dele is a player that has great potential, physically he is strong and he is very good. For sure I give him the possibility to show his talent, at the same time when I pick the starting XI I do it because I think they can bring the team to win, the same when I make changes during the game. With me, I am open, I am open for every single player in Tottenham. The most important thing is they show me they deserve to have the chance to play. The door is open for every single player, my first thought is to try and give them the best situation to show their talent, but then they need to show me I must be sure to give them a chance and repay. For all players, every single player. For now we are starting from zero, there is a new coach. I tell every single player, not specifically Dele, show me you deserve to play from the start and I will give you the chance to start.”
