Tottenham coach Conte spoke after the FA Cup match against Morecambe about the tough time due to the amount of games, but also explained that teams in England need to be competitive and rotate the squad to give key players a break.

Antonio Conte suggested Tanguy Ndombele needs to improve on the pitch to get Tottenham fans back on side after the midfielder was loudly booed during the FA Cup third-round win over Morecambe.

Ndombele has struggled to make an impact since joining Spurs in a £55m deal in the summer of 2019.

He was handed a starting spot against League One strugglers Morecambe but again failed to impress and was part of a triple change made by Spurs boss Conte on the hour mark with his side trailing 1-0.
