Former Chelsea coach says Kane attitude not normal after 5-1 win over Newcastle

Former Chelsea and now Tottenham coach Antonio Conte has said Harry Kane’s attitude is not normal.

This comes after Kane created his 20th assist in his 64 Premier League appearances during a 5-1 win over Newcastle on Sunday.

Conte stressed that Kane’s performance was terrific against the Magpies as he added that he told the English striker it was a shame he did not score.

The former Chelsea manager said a player like Kane would make any team score as he can score and create goals.

“First of all, I like the person. We are talking about a talented player. Many times players with great talent do not want to work hard. Not that they want to work less but sometimes they can be lazy. He was an example from the first day I arrived here. You may think this is normal but it is not normal. It is a big example to his team-mates and you see his desire to be competitive,” Conte said.

Speaking to BBC, Conte added: “He has to continue this way. We’re talking about a world-class striker. He’s enjoying playing in this way.”
