Tottenham boss Conte admits losing voice in victory over Eintracht Frankfurt

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte admits he lost his voice from shouting during their Champions League clash with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Spurs picked up a much needed 3-2 win at home in the group stages on Wednesday against the German side.

However, they had to work hard and survive a late onslaught to best the Europa League winners.

Asked about his voice during his post-game press conference, Conte stated: “Honestly, our final part was, nobody was expecting that type of situation. Honestly I felt the danger. I felt the danger and for this reason I tried to be involved, to shout, to call the players to be focused, to try to protect the result because for us the win was really, really important.

“Now I repeat that everything is in our hands. With a draw it would have been really difficult and in the next home game you risk losing after against Marseille. Now with a win everything is in our hands in the next game."
