Tottenham boss Antonio Conte He suggested that fans’ impatience hasn’t helped his team in their unsuccessful bid to win a silver medal this season.
The Spurs are going without a trophy for the 15th consecutive season after the FA Cup and Champions League coming out this month.
He put pressure on Conte, who is expected to leave at the end of the season, and targeted fans ahead of Saturday’s visit to Nottingham Forest.
The disappointment of the fan base is growing and the team was booed in the first half and just in time for Wednesday’s unpleasant goalless draw. Milan but the experienced Italian is a winner Inter MilanChelsea and juventus in the past they have emphasized the harm of their unrest.
“It’s not for me to say if the atmosphere is good,” Conte said.
“I keep telling you that the fans are running out of patience here. The fans want to win trophies.
The patience of the fans has run out and we feel it. I feel it, the players feel it. Of course, that didn’t help the situation.

I told him that the club knew the situation very well. The situation is not simple. Not easy. I repeat because he wants to win the circle and we’re not close to doing that right now, I think okay? That’s the truth.
“There is no patience. I ask for time and patience, but I see that patience has run out. Maybe the fans are right, but you can’t build a win in a day or two.
“It is difficult for me to notice this situation. It’s hard because I put everything, me and the team, to help the club, to build something, but at the same time, I realize that’s not enough.”
Conte has repeatedly insisted that the Spurs are far from tough for titles, but he also acknowledged that they don’t have the same spending power as their rivals.
The 53-year-old thinks Tottenham could come close to winning by creating “the right atmosphere”, but has hinted that this is unlikely.
Conte added: “I understand that it’s not easy to invest a lot of money for the club and you’re sure to win. Maybe your odds will increase, but we know we have to fight against the best, best teams that put a lot of money into it.
“You need to create the right atmosphere. It’s not just investing and investing money to sign new players. It’s not the only way to win.
“Winning is creating the right atmosphere, the right unity, the right spirit, to be firm so that everyone has the same opinion. Putting pressure on ourselves, being under stress, getting tired and in this way you prepare the club for victory.
“Or you have to believe in a miracle and there is a very, very big job to be done here. OK? But I see there is no patience. I can put it all to myself but I don’t want to kill myself.
“I remember very well when I came to this club everybody said ‘we have Conte now – he won in the past, so now we will win’. But we have to win together.
I can teach you the way to win, but you have to follow me and be patient. I need time and patience and I realize I have it

“We need to create the right environment. I can teach you the way to win, but you have to follow me and be patient. I need time and patience and I realized I have it.
“Maybe I have time because the club can give me that, but I don’t think the club has patience (from the fans).
“I repeat, this makes it really difficult for me. Maybe my past is punishing me, you know?
“I think if I was a coach who was a good coach but hadn’t won in my career, it would be a great situation to enjoy working together and growing, but my background is different. My background brings expectation, high expectation.
“I’m really happy to work and stay here, but I also have to think about all the issues for myself. If I have to put the stress and pressure on myself, that’s not right.”
