【Now Sports】熱刺周日狂贈諾域治5蛋,成功保住優勢鎖定前4,搶得歐聯入場券,主帥干地賽後直言可能是他人生最大的挑戰。造訪榜尾早已降班的諾域治,干地(Antonio Conte)所帶領的熱刺贏得輕鬆,最終在古路錫斯基及孫興敏各自梅開二度下,以5:0大勝,成功壓倒第5位落後兩分的阿仙奴,保住手上的歐聯資格。

考慮到在干地接替紐奴前,熱刺當時只排聯賽第8位,與前4的積分有段距離,直至1個多月前,仍然落後給兵工廠,如今卻能後上達標,這位主帥坦言:「我認為這確實是我一項偉大的成就。老實說,當時來到球隊,一切並不正面,所以這是大挑戰,或許是我生涯中一項最大挑戰,當我要在這麼高水平的比賽成為領隊,我就要證明在多困難的情況下,依然可以解決問題,所以現刻對我來說,十分滿意......」

他隨後再興奮地說:「今天是完美的一天,我們可以進入歐聯了。我認為要在這個聯賽得到這個資格,非常困難,因為太多頂級球隊了,但在離季尾還有9輪比賽前,我對著球員或媒體都說過,我們已經做好準備要奮戰到底,而除了對白禮頓那場賽事的失利,我們一直保持很優秀的走勢。」

談到愛將孫興敏與利物浦前鋒沙拿共享英超金靴榮譽,干地表示這也是球隊上下的目標:「首先是要確定歐聯資格,然後就是幫助孫興敏成為英超神射手,我們都享受這一切,隊友也熱心去幫助他,所以這個獎項雖然是交給孫興敏,但也是全隊的功勞。」
