Tottenham boss Antonio Conte knows he's losing the fans after this week's Champions League elimination.
Spurs fans booed at half-time and full-time of the muted display that saw their team exit the Champions League at the hands of AC Milan on Wednesday night. They also booed Conte's last substitution with centre-back Davinson Sanchez coming on for the more attacking Dejan Kulusevski after Cristian Romero's red card.
When asked what he made of the atmosphere and the boos that night at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, after a week in which Spurs were knocked meekly out of the FA Cup as well as European competition to make it 15 years since their last trophy, Conte made his feelings clear.
"It's not on me to say if the atmosphere is good or not good, and for sure and I continue to tell you that here the patience has finished for the fans," he said. "The fans want to win trophy. Stop.
"And then you have to find the right solution to make the fans happy and to win trophy in the future, because the patience of the fans has finished, and we feel this. I feel this. The players feel this. For sure this does not help the situation because there are many players in this moment, also young players that are playing, and they need to improve and go step by step to grow.
"We facing a difficult situation also with the injuries important players that stay out. Lloris, Bentancur, Sessegnon is out, Bissouma is out for the rest of the season. If we undervalue this situation....I think that in every moment, we have to try to create the right atmosphere to help the team, to help the players.
"Because I repeat in my opinion, also against Milan, they [the players] tried to give everything. Then you weren't able to go to the next round against a team that won the league last season (he shrugs).
"We are trying to go step by step and to build something important but if you don't have patience and it is not useful, this. You understand? It's un-useful, this. In my opinion. For this reason, we have to try to stay together until the end for this season, and to help the players to stay together, to fight, to try to make the best possible position and then, for sure [pauses] I don't know what happens. I don't know what happens."
