Sometimes it’s nice to be nice, and what’s happened to Ben Davies under Antonio Conte is a nice thing. Nice.A lot of things improved for Spurs after Antonio Conte replaced Nuno Espirito Santo in one of English football’s more eye-catching managerial upgrades of recent years.
It was a battle Davies was not winning and there was even plenty of talk that he might be sold after seven years of loyal service, much of it spent as reliable back-up to more overtly exciting attention-grabbing full-backs. Even the identity of those around him at Spurs plays perfectly into his hands. Whether it be Requilon or Sessegnon – or next season Ivan Perisic – outside him, Spurs will always have an instinctively attack-minded, forward-thinking player on the left. Davies’ defensive nous allows him to slide to a more orthodox left-back role as and when required.
Only Harry Kane has played more games or minutes for Conte’s Spurs. Arguably only Kane and Son have been more important to the team’s improvement and really not even they were as important in making Conte’s preferred 3-4-3 work with this group of players.
