Tottenham boss Antonio Conte explained the post-game snub involving midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
A post-match video after Spurs' win over Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday showed Conte ready to hug or shake hands with Hojbjerg in celebration.
However, the Danish midfielder walked away, seemingly without noticing Conte, but the Italian has played down the situation.
"I have seen the video because Anthony [Spurs' press officer] showed me," Conte said during a press conference.
"For sure I was celebrating with all my players. He didn't see me. Then we have recovered in the dressing room because we celebrated with him and all the players.
"Pierre is another important player for us, he's young but he's experienced and now with [Rodrigo] Bentancur we have implemented the midfielders, [Harry] Winksy, [Oliver] Skipp, players I can count on.
"We have to continue to work, we need a bit of time and patience. I have seen that we are improving in many aspects. Then to be available. The squad is more complete than before with [Dejan] Kulusevski and Bentancur.
"I can now give rotation and rest. For example the midfielders against Man City they put in a fantastic performance and the effort was top.
"We have to see whether they recover very well or I will have to make rotation because we have many games in the days."
