Coach Conte threatened to quit Tottenham because fans booed

"I think we have to show respect in every moment to the fans who paid for the tickets. But if you ask me if I'm disappointed with what happened today, I have to say yes. yes, because it's important to be honest," Conte said after losing 1-2 to Liverpool at Tottenham Hotspur.

At home, Tottenham started slowly, allowing striker Mohamed Salah to score twice for Liverpool. At this time, many of their fans expressed dissatisfaction, constantly booing the home team. After the break, Conte's team started, but only recovered one goal thanks to Harry Kane's 70th minute.

Conte also emphasized that Tottenham are facing opponents with stronger squads, so he and the players have a long way to go to reach the goal. "People need to understand the need for time and patience, otherwise we could lose the passion and enthusiasm that fuel my fuel. If I have that, that's okay. But if not, we'll continue this season and see what happens at the end," Conte said, hinting at his threat to quit Tottenham.

Conte's contract with Tottenham is only valid until June 2023. The two sides have negotiated an extension, but have not reached an agreement.
