    UCL: Rio Ferdinand discloses Tottenham’s major problem under Conte

    Rio Ferdinand, a former player for Manchester United, has pointed out Tottenham’s main issue this year under manager Antonio Conte.

    According to Ferdinand, Tottenham struggled against their opponents in the final third. He made this statement as Tottenham and Eintracht Frankfurt drew 0-0 on Tuesday in the Champions League.

    According to him, Tottenham attackers, such as Harry Kane and Son Heung-min would probably be further away from goal on average than they have ever been in their Tottenham careers due to Conte’s tactics of defensive play.

    “Those three strikers, whoever they are, they would probably be further away from goal on average than they’ve ever been in their Tottenham careers,” Ferdinand said on BT Sport.

    “The way we saw them set up against Arsenal within the first five minutes was so deep, edge of the box. It’s almost like watching a carbon copy of Atletico Madrid in recent years, with everybody behind the ball, and the lead striker is marking one of the central midfielders.
    “It’s not what Spurs are used to seeing. The final ball in the North London derby wasn’t good enough, and today with Son and Kane, it just wasn’t there for the final piece of the jigsaw, and the hardest part is putting the ball in the back of the net, and they didn’t have that either luck or quality in the last bit.”
