Conte on Kane importance to Tottenham: Make mistake about your wife but not your striker!

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte used a hilarious analogy to describe his feelings about Harry Kane.

The England captain is getting back to top form, having scored twice in the 3-2 win over Manchester City on Saturday.

Asked about how important Kane is, Conte referenced a quote from a friend in Italy.

He quipped: "There is a sporting director in Italy, my friend, whose name is Pantaleo Corvino. He says, 'You can make mistake about your wife but not about the striker'.

"You understand? For me that is the best quote that I understand in football, no? You can make a mistake about your wife but not mistakes about your striker."
