Conte “destroyed my confidence” during the early years of Tottenham and says, “I have one conversation with him.”

Djed Spence has opened about how former Tottenham coach Antonio Conte broke his “confidence” and says he only had a “one conversation” with the Italian while he was responsible.

The right -back Spence joined Spears in a deal worth 20 million pounds from Middlesbrough in 2022, but the manager then barely played, and insisted that the Nutingham Forest loan was “an investment for the club” instead of signing it.

The 24 -year -old has spent a time for his loan to Renns and Lies and Jinnah since their arrival in northern London, but he stormed the Ange Postecoglou team this season, as it appeared regularly in both the full -back functions.

Spence: “I have had one conversation with Conte.”

Talking about his time under Conte, Spence said Rio Ferdinand displays Podcast: “This was not a great feeling. Especially when I was coming to the club at a height, I was confident, I was beaten, I had a great season and just won the upgrade.

“Then it was like running in a brick wall. He destroyed my confidence a little. I am a young man, it is not good to really hear.

“I knew it was nonsense at that time. It was not a great feeling. I even went to the club like (blurring the cheeks and ignoring the shoulders) and,” what should I do? “

He added: “I feel that everything I did, that this man (Conte) was not happy with anything.

“Even if you did the right things, you are like,” did you do the right thing? “Because it is not really a courtesy man.

“Maybe one conversation with him.”

Spence: “I was very modest.”

Spence also discussed the turning point in his career in Tottenham this season, which witnessed an important part of Spears.

He said, “I think I was a victim of being very modest,” he said. “Thinking that things will only happen by not doing anything and saying nothing. But sometimes you have to express yourself.

“In my first year in Tottenham, I feel I have given a lot of respect to the players and the surrounding areas because it is Tottenham. I came from Forest, and I will go to the Premier League, which is six elderly club, and I believed,” Win, this is great. “

“I feel I gave them a lot of respect regarding that I was not really myself, I was very modest with everything.

“When I went there, I saw players who were big names like Harry Kane and Sonny (Heung-MIN SON), and I am thinking,” I don’t want to take the fingers of anyone. “

“But this may have been my biggest mistake, doing it and not expressing myself how I should have.”

When this situation changed, Spence replied, “Maybe I say this season, the beginning of the year.

“I think this happens normally. I don’t have time to waste now. I have to go to get it, it’s time so it’s just clicking.”
