In his post-match press conference, Antonio Conte actually likened Ben Davies’ transformation at Tottenham to that of Chelsea’s Azpilicueta. Which I can safely say is one thing I never thought I’d hear during this lifetime. Nevertheless, the repurposing of Tottenham’s Welshman has provoked plenty of positives. The most recent of which, we witnessed on Sunday against Norwich.
The assist for Sanchez’s goal.
The smart pass
Davies won 67% of his duels, an improvement from his current average of 55.9%.
It will be interesting to see if this work from Conte pays off against superior sides.
