What rant? Spurs fullback Porro only learns of Conte blast at Portugal presser!

Tottenham fullback Pedro Porro insists he hasn't been aware of manager Antonio Conte's rant on the weekend.

Conte attacked the players and the club after their 3-3 draw with Southampton.

Porro wasn't aware of the blast until it was put to him by reporters at a Portugal media conference yesterday.

When it was relayed back to him that the Tottenham manager had attacked the culture of the club and suggested its players have grown too accustomed to living without pressure, he replied: "Well it's his opinion. I'm not getting involved there. I have nothing to say. It's really not for me."

Asked if he now regrets leaving Sporting Lisbon for Spurs, Porro also said: "No, I don't think that.

"I'm clear about the fact that I want to be a success. It's true that we are out the cups and that in the last game, the result got away from us. But I have absolute confidence in myself and in the team being able to sort it out."
