Dejan Kulusevski has started off the bench in Spurs’ last three games.
Then coach Antonio Conte broke his rules and explained the decision to the Swede.

Diane Kulusevsky He has in the opening six matches in Premier League He scored two goals and one assist and was a strong contributor to Tottenham’s progress.
But after a great start, the Swede has had to grind the bench more and more recently in favor of brass Richarlison.
break his rule
Antonio Conte admits the Swede was hard to cheat – so hard that he had to break his rule not to explain to the players why they were out of 11.
Punching “Deki” (Kolosevsky) in three consecutive matches was, quite frankly, difficult for me. I don’t like giving explanations to my players because in that case I would have to talk to everyone after every game, says Conte, according to Football London.
The one who was allowed to start in Kulusevsky’s place, despite the poor level, is South Korean Son Heung-min.
“I need to know my confidence”
– But after putting Dokki on the bench for three games, I spoke to him. He deserves to feel my trust and know how much I believe in him. It was just a tactical decision because I wanted a strong presence with three attackers. Kulusevsky is not a striker, he is a “ten”.
Despite the recent bench, Conte believes the Sweden international will play a big role for Spurs this season.
Dokki is an important player for me and the team. He is in an important stage now because he is physically strong and plays well. This is his first problem, but for me it’s a good one even if it was a tough decision. But making the decision doesn’t have to be easy.
