Antonio Conte praised Richarlison for making Tottenham more troublesome, allowing the Brazilian to unleash a fearsome front four from the start of several matches.
forward Richarlison, 25, joined Spurs from Everton on a £60m deal this summer.
His ability to hide behind opponents' skin was seen as an attractive quality for Conte, who wanted to make his team more streetwise this season. Richarlison was a complete nuisance to Chelsea's defense when he made his debut as a second-half substitute in his 2-2 draw at Stamford's bridge on Sunday.
Conte made a surprise surprise by choosing Ryan Sessegnon as a forward instead of Dejan Kursevski or Son Heung-min.
This was when the Tottenham team suddenly boasted Harry Kane, Son, Krussevski and Richarlison with an unexpected 4-2-4 for much of the second half. meant
Conte said ahead of the Wolves on Saturday. My favorite player.
"He's always focused on his training sessions. I think that's a good sign for us.
"The season will be longer and we'll be playing with four strikers. We're also working on the tactical side because we have a lot of games we have to play.
"Eventually at Chelsea, we'll have Lucas Moura, (Ivan) Perisic (previously a striker) as a wing-back. ), Richarlison, Krussevski, Sonny (and Kane).
"But to do this, tactical organization is key."
Conte What was meant was that if his team were going to be very aggressive, they would need to avoid being left wide open in the back.
It was that aggressive approach that helped Pierre his Emile his Hoybjerg fend off Kalidou his Koulibaly's early sweep and help Spurs get back into the game.
However, leaving a gap in the counterattack, Reese looked like the winner as his James reversed Chelsea in his 77th minute.
That was before Kane headed home into Perisic's corner in his sixth minute of stoppage time, in such a frenzied celebration that Conte and Thomas his Tuchel clashed and were sent off. caused
Conte added of playing with four forwards.
"I think the second goal we conceded against Chelsea was a bit off-balance.
"Playing with four strikers during the game would be a good option. , may start some matches, so we need to try to improve.
"The most important thing is that the four strikers want to run and even without the ball. You want to make sacrifices, which is very important.
"But I have good stamina and quality players, and I'm working on that side as well." 52} Tottenham used to be known for being a little too kind.
But that blame can no longer be put at their door, especially when players like Richarlison and Cristian Romero are fighting for the team. Romero felt he should have been sent off shortly before Kane's goal at Chelsea for pulling his hair.
Conte added: He is definitely a physically strong player.
"He has no fear of anyone, but he understands the situation, always strives to be better, and always seeks to improve the situation in need of improvement.
"But I talk a lot with him and a lot with the players about being strong, but always in a good way."
The Spurs boss seemed to suggest that Romero may have crossed the mark with a hair tag.
But overall, he I'm in favor of making my team more troublesome.
The Italian added: Very important.
"That means you have to feel your opponent's blood and try to kill them in a sporting way.
" When you play the game, you should understand that you can also draw.
"But at the same time, you have to decide whether a draw is a success for you or a draw is a loss (as in).
"If you want to be ambitious, I think you should only think about getting three points. A draw is half a loss for me."
80} Expected line-up: Loris. Sanchez, Dyer, Davis. Royal, Hoybjerg, Bentancourt, Sessegnon. Krussevsky, Kane, Son.
