Before taking any action, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has reminded Tottenham manager Antonio Conte that he has to “expand” on his complaints about the team.

At a fiery news conference following Spurs’ 3-3 draw with Southampton, Conte accused his players of being “selfish” and ill-equipped to handle the pressure that comes with aspiring for success.

According to sources, The club executives think Conte’s job is no longer tenable as a result of his outburst, which might finally result in his resignation.

The first Spurs player to openly address Conte’s comments was Hojbjerg, who is currently on international duty with Denmark.

“I think we’ve all seen it. Very honest and very open press conference he gave. It is because he is not satisfied. You don’t do that if you’ve reached the quarter-final of the Champions League and if you’re in the semi-final of the FA Cup,” he told a press conference.

“It comes from the fact that, unfortunately, we did not get the results we as a team and club wanted. We are still where we want and need to be in the Premier League. But yes, it’s hard, I should say.

“I understand that if you want to be successful as a team, you need 11 men who are committed to a project and a culture. But I think he has to elaborate on how he feels before you as a player can start measuring and weighing.

“The coach has not been satisfied, and that is what I will take with me. You do what you can to please him. What I do know about myself is that I am an honest player. I am a player who always gives 100% of myself for the team.”

Hojbjerg also revealed Conte did not warn the players before speaking to the media.

“Let me put it this way: He didn’t tell us what he wanted to say at the press conference,” the midfielder explained. “But it is clear that you work with each other every day, you want the best for each other and you want to be successful together. And sometimes the waves go high in football.”

Finally, asked whether he was offended by Conte’s words, Hojbjerg stressed: “That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that if that’s how he sees it, then you have to be a little more precise in order for you as a player to take it to heart.”

Denmark will aim to emulate their emotionally charged run to the Euro 2020 semifinals in Qatar, minus the drama of Christian Eriksen’s horrifying collapse as they announced their official 21-man squad from the 26-man squad for the Qatar World Cup.

In choosing 21 of the 26 players who will represent Denmark at the World Cup in Qatar on Monday, coach Kasper Hjulmand showed loyalty to the players who contributed to recent successful World Cup qualifying and Nations League campaigns.

The final list must be submitted to FIFA by Monday, November 13, with the World Cup scheduled to begin on Nov. 20, and the last five players will be announced following the final round of European matches before the competition.

Eriksen made his international comeback in March after suffering a heart attack during Denmark’s opening game of Euro 2020 and the Manchester United midfielder has been named in Kasper Hjulmand’s final squad for the tournament in Qatar.

Tottenham’s Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Leeds United’s Rasmus Kristensen and Brentford duo Mathias Jensen and Mikkel Damsgaard are all included.
