Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino recently told journalists that his men were clearly the underdogs on paper as they prepare to take on rivals Chelsea in the semi-final of the FA Cup later today. But the Blues' boss Antonio Conte has some advice for his Argentine counterpart.
The Italian tactician has urged Poch's men to drop the underdog mentality in this clash if they have to make it to the finals. The Lillywhites come into this match having lost their last six consecutive FA Cup semi-finals, a clear indication of their mental weakness at this stage of the competition. Ahead of the much-anticipated London derby, Conte is quoted by ESPN as saying:
"There is a moment you have to finish considering yourself an underdog. I think this is the right moment.
"Tottenham now is a really great power in English football. This is the third year for them (under Pochettino) and I think it's the right moment to finish (talking about being) considered (an) underdog and to find his excuse."
The North Lodoners are currently four points behind the Blues in the race for the Premier League title. And having lost to Man Utd last weekend, another defeat for Chelsea, this time round against Spurs, could determine the direction of both the league and cup.
