Conte has picked all three strikers for six of Spurs’ last eight games, and withsuffering an injury setback this Thursday, this is likely to continue in the future.
Conte admitted, speaking at his Friday press conference, that this changes how Spurs play, forcing them to be “more direct” and to “control the game less”. But he is still happy with the results.last January, Conte’s preference has been to have him on the right of the front three, operating as a link man between Kane, Son and the rest of the team.
Conte himself admitted on Friday that initially, he did not think playing Kane, Son and Richarlison together would work, because it would leave the team too top-heavy. “Honestly, at the start, I had some doubts about the balance, to put three strikers like Richy, Harry and Sonny,” Conte said.
