Tottenham boss Conte hails South Korean fans: It really was incredible

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte admits he was amazed by the welcome from South Korean fans yesterday.

The squad were greeted by thousands of fans at Incheon Airport as they prepare for a week's hard work and two matches in the Coupang Play Series - the opener against Team K League in Seoul on Wednesday evening followed by La Liga side Sevilla in Suwon on Saturday.

Speaking from the hotel in Seoul this evening local time, Conte told the club's website: “It's true, it seems like we finished only yesterday. Instead, we had one month of rest, now we have our pre-season.

"It really was incredible to find all those people at the airport, great for me, I didn't expect so many fans. The enthusiasm around the Club, it was amazing.

"For sure, we need to repay our fans with a big achievement."
