Tottenham boss Antonio Conte played down their chances of competing with Liverpool after Saturday's 1-1 draw.
Conte was asked how long he would need before Spurs could compete with Liverpool for trophies.
He said, "Yeah I understand this type of questions, but I think we need to have a path with the team, and to create a base and then to improve the base here. I think Liverpool, no I'm sure Liverpool did this because they created a foundation with Jurgen and they did a fantastic job in seven years they won a lot.
"He created a monster, in a good way, an amazing way, and he has to be satisfied - but to do this you have to have time and patience, and a lot of things because you have to go step by step.
"It's impossible to imagine that next season you are going to win the title because I'm realistic and I know there are teams in England like Liverpool and City, Chelsea, also United, who are really strong, and it's not simple to face these monsters."
