Medical expert issues emphatic Tottenham claim after brutal behind-the-scenes reveal
Tottenham will be able to hit new heights in 2022-23 thanks to Antonio Conte’s brutal pre-season regime.
That is the view of medical expert Ben Dinnery, who runs the Premier Injuries site and has a background in injury and data analysis.
As relayed by The Telegraph last Sunday (10 July), Spurs players were recently spotted feeling the effects of a high-octane session.
Harry Kane threw up and Son Heung-min collapsed during drills conducted by Spurs fitness coach and Conte lieutenant Giampiero Ventrone.
But Dinnery insists that Spurs stars will thank the Italian pair when they reap the rewards in the coming season.
“For Giampiero Ventrone, or ‘the marine’ as he was known at Juventus, this isn’t his first rodeo,” he told Football Insider’s Adam Williams.
“He knows their limitations, how to plan these sessions and how to work players. Ultimately, players will have an understanding of what their physical and psychological limitations are.
“He wants to push those boundaries. He wants to push you harder than you ever thought was possible. That’s the belief that he wants to install in these players.
“That way, when the going gets tough, Spurs have another gear that they click into, maybe in the last 10 or 15 minutes in a game.
“We have seen their metrics go through the roof last season and that ultimately led to Champions League qualification.
“This will not be done individually. It will be done as a collective. But the players ultimately need to deliver Conte’s game plan. Using pre-season as building blocks, they hopefully will be able to do that.”
