Tottenham Hotspur will travel to Manchester United on Wednesday night hoping to reverse the result of the same game last season. Last season, United defeated Tottenham 3-2 in mid-March, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a hat trick to silence the critics who dismissed him as a washed-up player. On Monday, Tottenham manager Antonio Conte was asked about CR7.
“We’re talking about an incredible player, a top player.” “A player who has continued to make a difference for the team for which he plays,” the Italian said.
Cristiano, with [Lionel] Messi, they made the story of football in the last 10, 15 years. I have great admiration for Cristiano, for his professionalism, but I hope [Wednesday] is not like last season, he scored three goals. We lost 3-2, but we lost against him, not against United last season. I remember very well. We played a good game and he solved the situation alone.”
In trying to avoid history repeating here, Conte will go with the strongest team at his current disposal. We believe it looks like this.
