Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has spoken about his plans for right-back Djed Spence.
Many Spurs fans are hoping that he gets game time in midweek in the Champions League against Eintracht Frankfurt.
However, Conte states that he will do the best that he can for the entire team, with respect to his selection of the starting line-up and substitutes.
He stated on Spence at his press conference: “The fans have to be fans. The fans is the fans, I understand they can think everything but I see every day what happens during the training session. I try to do the best for the team. If they trust me, then they trust me, but the choices are mine. If I didn't decide to pick one player it's maybe because he's not ready.
“We are talking about a young player with a good prospect, but I repeat I try to pick the best team. Also Doherty last season played every game. Now I'm not seeing him in the right way to start the game. I'm not stupid, I don't want to lose. I try to put the best team, to pick the best team. If they trust me it's ok, if they don't trust me then I'm the coach and I need to take the best decision for Tottenham."
