(Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur forward Dejan Kulusevski said the players must respect manager Antonio Conte's words and that he had not felt slighted by the Italian's stinging criticism of the club.
Conte blasted his players as selfish, lacking team spirit and unable to play under pressure in an extraordinary media conference following Spurs' 3-3 draw at Southampton.
"I know that I prepare myself to do as good as I can and that's why I can always look at myself in the mirror," added the 22-year-old, who is part of Sweden's squad for their European Championship qualifiers against Belgium and Azerbaijan."But what said is for him , that's his word. But I respect him, he helped me a lot during my career so he's still a very important man in the club and in my work.
