Conte praises recalled four: Show desire and I'll give you everything

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte praised the raft of players he recalled for Sunday's 2-2 draw.

Dele Alli, Harry Winks, Tanguy Ndombele and Ryan Sessegnon, all back in the starting line-up, all performed admirably.

“My players know very well that I'm here to try to improve the situation, to improve the level of every single player," said Conte.

“To improve the level of every player means the level of the team will improve. I want to see desire, I want to see the will to improve and to work. If I see this, I give to my players everything."

He also said: "So, a good performance, a good point against Liverpool, they are, at this moment, one of the best teams in the world, and to play against them is not easy.

“This is one hand. On the other hand, and I've said it to the players, we have to be a bit disappointed, because we created many chances to score, and when we have the possibility to kill the game, we have to kill the game and get the three points. So, up and down, good performance, good commitment, but when you have this type of performance, you have to win.

“If you want to improve your mentality, if you want to go to a superior level, I think that, at the end, yes, you have be satisfied with the performance, but you have to go home a bit disappointed because we lost two points tonight."
