“The top 4 is not enough. Where we are as a club, we should win a title,” he said after another disappointment at Tottenham.
“The top 4 is not enough. Where we are as a club, we should be winning titles. That is always the goal (…) The top 4 (as the only goal) is the result of not playing as well as we want to play”. Those were the words of Harry Kane after the umpteenth disappointment of the team of his life. Now there are weeks of apathy, reflection and disgust. And that assuming Conte’s team finishes in the top four and gains access to the Champions League. That remains to be seen against a Liverpool coming on more.
The striker Lillywhite is in negotiations to expand their relationship with the North London team. But after another dark season, so that? Years and years of sighing pass. Of new opportunities and hopes that culminate in failures and melancholy. This course was eliminated in the League Cup by Nottingham Forest, in the FA Cup by Sheffield United and in the Champions League by Milan. And Tottenham have a much better team than all of them.
As if that wasn’t enough, the journey of Conte leaves a lot to be desired. The Italian does not want to continue in England. And the club does not see that the project has a future. So why are they still together? It all seems nonsense. The team has invested a lot of money in Kulusevski, Richarlison, Bissouma, Bentancur, Romero, Pedro Porro… what else is needed? Time? How many?
Kane turns 30 in July and is looking for his last major contract. In the summer of last season, he was already tempted by Manchester City, but the operation did not come to fruition due to the stubbornness of Daniel Levy, for whom 170 million for his star did not seem enough. But now the footballer has the upper hand. His contract expires at the end of next season and he will be able to pull the strings tight in the interests of a suitor (Bayern Munich is still going around).
Pochettino left and Mourinho arrived. He reached a League Cup final and was dismissed before playing. There was no patience with Nuno. And Conte has his head anywhere but on Tottenham’s aspirations. With this bleak picture, it is not surprising that the best player in Tottenham’s history and one of the best strikers in the history of English football is upset. This is all nonsense.
