Tottenham No2 Cristian Stellini has questioned the players' mentality for their thrashing by Leicester City.

The Foxes thumped Spurs 4-1 on Saturday.

Stellini said, "We're a team. The team has to change something. Not only individually. It's about the desire. You want to play this game, it's about recovering energy mentally. When you play a team like Manchester City maybe you use all the energy you have. To recover this energy, it's like a battle and how much this battle can contain. You have to recreate the same energy. To have this battle bigger you have to work. And we have to do it.

"Not only the players, everyone has to do it. The players have to be disappointed with the play. We have to be disappointed in ourselves. Everyone has to think about this."

On Antonio Conte's return after his gallbladder operation, Stellini added: "Yeah, yeah. It's good for all the club. It's good for the team, it's good for everyone to have Antonio back. He has to take it easy a bit because he cannot use his energy 100%. We have to give something more to cover the gap because without Antonio that way we had more responsibility.

"Today we didn't start the game badly, we started well, we scored 1-0. In that moment we have to continue."
