Jed Spence had a really bad feeling for coach Antonio Conte.
Spence, who was selected for the first English national team in his career, looked back on how he came to this position in an interview with the British Telegraph on the 3rd (Korea time). Spence did not mention Conte's name but shot Conte.
Spence was a promising player who had been in the spotlight since he was young. He made his debut for Middlesbrough but left on loan at Nottingham Forest to be recognised as the best full-back in the English Championship (minor league). After making Nottingham's promotion to the Premier League (EPL), he joined Tottenham in the summer of 2022.
Conte, however, treated Spence only as a blue prospect. As soon as he was hired, Spence is an investment player in the club. The club wanted to do that. I said 'OK, this player is young, but he showed us that he can be an important player. The club has decided to recruit him"He confessed that he wasn't the player he wanted."
Even in the stadium, Conte only thought of Spence as a substitute for dragging his feet. Spence faced a release crisis at Tottenham, and after going around on loan several times, he began to receive opportunities little by little from last summer. Spence didn't miss the opportunity, and now he is proudly Tottenham's main player. He could even make his England debut soon.
Spence recalled his time at Tottenham, saying, `The biggest difficulty was when I joined Tottenham. I didn't feel like I was welcomed right away, including my relationship with the coach. I was really excited when I joined the club, but I almost felt like I was going down because of the manager's comments and the lack of a chance to play. It was a difficult situation at the time", he confessed.
He said "I was excited to hear about joining Tottenham, but it wasn't a good feeling to have to be told that. It was a moment when confidence collapsed. But I'm a fighter. I try to do my best no matter what I do. I'm happy that time has passed and I'm here now. I have people in my mind who suspected me. It feels good to prove them wrong,' he said, shooting Conte indirectly.
This is not the first time Spence has had an interview in which he hates Conte. In March of this year, Spence also appeared on Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand YouTube, saying, "It was trash at the time. I wasn't in a good mood. When I go to the club, I say, 'What am I doing here?I thought ' Whatever I did, Conte didn't seem happy about anything. Even if I play it properly 'Am I doing it right?I thought ' Conte was not the type to praise. Maybe I talked to him once"I once complained.

It was an infinitely bad coach for Spence, but Conte was on good terms with Son Heung-min. This is because he is the coach who made Son Heung-min the top scorer in the Premier League (EPL). He also used Son Heung-min as a tactical scapegoat, but his love for Son was sincere. "Son Heung-min is a good man. If I have to find my daughter's husband, I will choose someone like Son Heung-min."
