Tottenham

LIVE: Follow all the action right here as Tottenham take on Team K League at Seoul World Cup Stadium in their first pre-season friendly of the summer.

Big miss from Emerson Royal. Richarlison goes on a dribble and the ball breaks to the Brazilian who just has to slide it home. Conte gets a round of applause when his face is shown in the dugout on the big screen. Then a different voice announces Lucas Moura's name as he shoots wide. Even a blocked Emerson pass gets a big 'ooooh'. They're very passionate. It's a sitter but he slides it wide. A Romero backheel has 60,000 people cheering in unison.

After two months with no football, Tottenham Hotspur are back in action today at the Seoul Olympic Stadium in South Korea. Okay, so it's only a friendly match ...

Tottenham could - and probably should - have had a hatful of goals in the first-half before they were caught with a late sucker punch. Gil impressed on the right-hand side of a front three for Spurs and was full of creativity and guile during an encouraging 45 minute cameo. It's been a tough 12 months for Gil, who has failed to make any sort of impression since he arrived in north London in a player-plus-cash deal from Sevilla last summer. Sessegnon enjoyed a strong finish to last season and is set to battle with Ivan Perisic for the left-wing back slot this season. He was a constant outlet down the left-hand side in Seoul, but the former Fulham man's end product was lacking. Away from goal, the new man impressed with some slick link-up play with Bryan Gil and Lucas Moura in the early stages of the match, which included a couple of neat flicks.

The score is still 1-1 A great goal by Kane who made a solo move and finished with a shot from the edge of the area to beat the goalkeeper. Amano's mistake in controlling the ball hit him in the hand. Goal from a free kick that saw the hole and shot low.

Incredibly suspicious handball gifts Son Heung-min goal in Spurs' bonkers pre-season friendly.

Jumping for a loose ball, Yokohama F. Marinos player Jun Amano appeared to bring his hands up with him to catch the ball while unchallenged, instead of controlling it down or attempting to clear it. It’s clear to see why fans were questioning whether or not the handball was intentional when looking at the footage and considering the circumstances. A truly wild game, and one that fans in attendance and those watching from elsewhere will forget anytime soon. Truthfully, we all know that pre-season results mean next to nothing in the context of a team’s fortunes for the upcoming campaign. In true pre-season fashion, we were treated to a bonkers game of football. When the big guns were introduced later in the game, South Korean icon Son Heung-min was sent on to the joy of the crowd in attendance, who got to watch their national team’s superstar and the man flying the flag for South Korean football in the flesh.

- Not sure what happened on K-League’s free kick goal, but the two man wall of Son and Sarr completely crapped the bed. Also notable that Harry Kane didn’t demand to take that PK; that was always going to Son in front of his home fans. Harvey White also had an excellent ball into the box late in the game. - Kane and Son were once again very much in sync on the counters, but interestingly Sonny also had a good connection with Troy Parrott when he came on. There were 60k fans in that stadium, and they cheered every time the stadium screens showed a close-up of Antonio Conte. They roared when Kane and Son started warming up. Great movement, energetic in the press, carried the ball forward a few times. - Ryan Sessegnon looks like he’s bulked up a bunch since last season, but he had kind of a rough half. A couple of poor passes and got beat one on one a few times. I don’t know if he’s going to do that against better opposition — maybe we’ll know more after the Sevilla friendly. That’s not what happened at the Seoul Olympic Stadium on Wednesday. Tottenham Hotspur played a team of K-League all-stars in South Korea in the first match of their preseason tour, and there were TONS of goals. There’s a LOT to unpack here, way more than I can put in a single article. There are some skillful K-League players on that team, and the crowd was absolutely delightful.

The first was a penalty, awarded for handball, and clipped into the net with what appeared to be a scuffed panenka by the Spurs striker. His second was Tottenham's sixth, a complete gift presented to him by a stray pass out of defence, which he gratefully seized upon and turned into the open goal. There were no surprises when it came to the shape of the team. Richarlison was recruited for his ability to play in different roles, and deputise through the centre Harry Kane when necessary. Absences included Ivan Perisic, who is still not fit to start full training after an injury at the end of last season. In the second half when they were paired on the right, with Moura at wing-back.

Tottenham Hotspur kicked off their pre-season fixtures on Wednesday with a 6-3 victory over Team K League in Seoul, South Korea.

Kane was among six players to come on at half-time and replaced Bryan Gil, while Son’s introduction in place of Emerson Royal came a couple of minutes later. Fellow new signing and free transfer Ivan Perisic is with the squad in South Korea but was not involved in the squad as he continues to work on his fitness ahead of the new campaign. Here are five key moments from Spurs’ nine-goal thriller in South Korea.

Tottenham Hotspur are putting in the hard yards quite literally as their pre-season training continues ahead of the start of the 2022-23 campaign.

They were hobbling around in the team hotel on Monday night. When in charge of Italy (August 2014-July 2016) he was obsessed by the values of goji berries. He duly rewarded him by plundering in the goals with 34 in 51 matches. Conte's tough sessions took their toll in 2017-18 as the Blues juggled European football commitments. In his first pre-season at Chelsea in Los Angeles, he emphasised this drill to his whole squad - irrespective of whether they were a first-team starter or squad member. The end result? Son, the darling of South Korea, drew gasps from the crowd when he collapsed. He would then repeat this for the other flags too. He's also urged his stars to eat more fruit. Sportsmail takes a look at his punishing methods as he looks to turn his side into trophy contenders. In contrast, his predecessor Nuno Espirito Santo had just one. Depending on when they reported back for training, it was either 42 or 30 lengths.

Spurs are currently on tour in South Korea, where they will face a K-League XI in their opening pre-season friendly on Wednesday. It is the first time Tottenham ...

Video analysis sessions are daily and extremely detailed, with Conte obsessing of the position of players down to a single yard. After beating Vitesse Arnhem in the Europa League last season, the analysis session that followed was said to have lasted 75 minutes instead of the initial 20 as planned. Conte is also known for paying close attention to nutrition, with his dietary rules perhaps his most strict. Ventrone, who also goes by the nickname 'Professor Marine', is said to be at the heart of Conte's punishing drills. Conte placed a huge emphasis on fitness when he arrived at Tottenham in November, with the club languishing in eight place.

Tottenham won the first match of their pre-season tour of Korea, with Kane and Son both scoring - but not everyone had an enjoyable evening.

And if pre-season friendlies are football’s equivalent of the former, then Davinson Sanchez is in for a storming start to the season. He scored his second of the night with a 75th-minute free kick to make it 5-3. Gil too put in a good shift before being replaced with Kane at half-time. Also, he made a good assist (sending Son through for a chance that led to a red card and Kane scoring from the resulting free kick), I’m very happy that we signed him.” Kane also gave local hero Son a goal by allowing him to take a penalty with the score at 3-2. Because in Wednesday’s game, this was very much a case of Bad Sanchez. Very, very bad. He and Bentancur are an intriguing duo as they are pretty similar players. Once Richarlison moved over to the right for the second half, he spent most of his time beating players but then going down and not winning free kicks. And once those rough edges are smoothed out a touch, Tottenham will have brought in a very useful forward. “I think he is strong physically and a good personality — good character, good quality. The chances started to come, and after Dave Bulthuis just nipped in to clear Sessegnon’s cross, Royal’s delivery picked Richarlison out but his header was tame. “Today, I’ve seen a lot of positive things about Richy,” Conte said.

Japhet Tanganga revealed that Antonio Conte sees him as a centre-back in the team and gives him the most instructions about the position.

His versatility is his biggest asset to the team. The 23-year-old is fast and agile, an advantage for a centre-back. “Of course, you saw against Norwich that I can play in the right wing-back role if needed. The England U21 international is a versatile defender who can also play in the wing-back positions. “He sees me as one of the centre-backs, either right or left. Japhet Tanganga, speaking at a Tottenham Hotspur Global football development session (h/t football.london), revealed that Antonio Conte sees him as one of the centre-backs in the team.

Antonio Conte has some selection decisions to make in midfield, after the pairings performance during Tottenham's victory against Team K League.

It wasn't a bad debut from the youngster, and Hojbjerg continued to be a leadership figure in the middle. Bentancur made a couple of crunching tackles and tried to help get the ball forward. This meant Conte had a quartet to choose from and opted for Skipp and Bentancur for the first 45 minutes. The first few seconds of the game showed a shaky start for the pair, with a pass between them leading to loss of possession. This left Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and January arrival Rodrigo Bentancur as the most-used midfield pairing in the second half of last season. Last season, Oliver Skipp's injury in January kept him out for the rest of the campaign.

"We had a problem with Covid, with Bissouma and Fraser because the test was positive. For Richy he is working and we are working on the tactical aspects with him because he has to go into our idea. For this reason they weren't here with us. It was the same for Kulusevski. But for sure he is a player that gives me important positions up front. He can play in all three positions.

Antonio Conte stated at a press conference that Tottenham Hotspur are still looking to add some reinforcements to the team.

It would be wise for the board to shift their focus to other targets. We are always looking to strengthen the squad if there is the opportunity. For every coach to have players quickly is very important because you can work with them and put them into the idea of (our) football.”

Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has offered injury reports on Ivan Perisic, Dejan Kulusevski, and Ben Davies.

Perisic will be a key member of this Spurs team and his speedy return from injury is important. With so many pre-World Cup games to play it is really crucial that they remain fit. So, he will require his new signings to be fit. Naturally, hearing that Perisic isn’t quite up to speed yet will worry some Spurs supporters. The same for Kulusevski.” “Perisic is working very well.

Conte's side start their 22/23 Premier League campaign at home to Southampton on August 6. Spurs started Conte's first summer transfer window early, recruiting Fraser Forster and Perisic on free transfers. Conte has exciting attacking options amid a hectic summer for Spurs, signing five players so far with more expected to follow. He can play in all three positions. He is a player who gives me important options.

Here are our Tottenham Hotspur player ratings from the first half of their friendly against Team K-League in South Korea on Wednesday.

He did provide a nice cross for Richarlison late in the half but he lose a point purely for that huge miss. Saw more action on the left of the back three but it was at the other end where he had a good chance in space but saw his effort saved. Captain for the half and he scored a rocket of a goal on the half hour mark, playing a one-two with Gil and burying a left-footed shot into the top right corner.

The Croatian can play on the wings. The most important asset is the Brazilian’s ability to play down the middle. The Brazilian is also adept at attacking spaces. The personality and character of Richarlison are especially praiseworthy. And Conte feels the 25-year-old can play various positions up front. Conte is still working with the Brazilian to inculcate his ideas and style of play into the player.

Richarlison is one of five new faces at Tottenham, and Antonio Conte was impressed with the forward's debut on Wednesday.

This followed on from his spell at Watford, where he was also utilised in both forward positions, and this is set to give him, and Conte, an extra dynamic as they head into the new season. “But for sure he is a player that gives me important positions up front. At the same time we have to work on the physical aspects for him to be fit.

Bryan Gil has had a rollercoaster start to his career, but he did well to impress Antonio Conte in his first appearance for Tottenham, after his loan.

However, at his age and with the development he still needs, a loan move for another season could be what is best for all parties. Another success of his short game time was that he didn't appear to get shoved off the ball, managing to get round opposition players. It was strange to send on loan, and sell one player, in the January transfer window. Gil played the first 45 minutes and was arguably one of the stand-out players on the pitch. Playing on the right side of the attack, not only did the Spaniard bring energy, he also got into good positions and tried to make an impact at both ends of the field. "About the players that went on loan, they need to play more games," he admitted. The youngster impressed on his return to Spain, making 13 La Liga appearances and registering a single assist. "I wanted to get games and I thought I'd get the chance here. Gil made nine Premier League appearances before he made the move to Valencia in January for a loan spell until the end of the 2022/23 season. But I already knew some of the guys here, like Carlos and Jose Gaya, and I think it helped me to settle quickly," Gil added. There was hope that he could continue his development on his loan move, which did prove to be good for him. The winger came in under Nuno Espirito Santo and soon after his arrival, he admitted that there had been a request for him.

Tottenham are leading the race to land Sevilla defender Jules Kounde after Chelsea dropped their interest in a move for the Frenchman, according to reports.

Kounde, who is also said to be a target for Newcastle and Barcelona, registered a total of 44 appearances for Sevilla over the course of last season. The Italian coach is believed to be keen on signing at least one new centre-back in the near future and has reportedly identified Kounde as the man for the job. Chelsea were widely expected to try again for Kounde in advance of next season but have since agreed to sign Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli, with the latter's arrival set to be confirmed over the coming days.
