Hojbjerg calls on Conte to 'elaborate' after rant
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg called on Antonio Conte to be "more precise" in his criticism of Tottenham's players after his outburst in the aftermath of Saturday's draw with Southampton. Conte accused his team of lacking professionalism in a rant that also took aim at the culture of the club over the last 20 years. It has been reported that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy could remove the Italian as manager this week, bringing forward a departure that had been expected to come in the summer when his contract expires. The draw at St Mary's, where Tottenham conceded two late goals to blow a 3-1 lead, came days after the team had been eliminated from the Champions League in a meek loss to AC Milan and were dumped out of the FA Cup by Championship side Sheffield United.

"I think we've all seen it," said the 27-year-old. "He gave a very honest and very open press conference. 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. "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.
