Tottenham adjusted their pre-season tour to South Korea with a 1-1 draw against La Liga side Sevilla in Suwon.
Harry Kane and Ivan Rakitic scored fresh wraps up in the last part in an extreme focus and shockingly fiery well disposed of, which saw Ben Davies constrained off in the final part following a clash of heads.
As a team of four, after the match, this is the very thing we learn and will jump at the chance to impart to you assuming you might be keen on it.
Kane and Son satisfy star charging
A large portion of the 44,000 supporters at the Suwon World Cup Stadium had probably come to see Son first and Kane second, and the star attractions didn't dishearten.
Kane has looked ready for anything in Korea and he almost added to his two goals from outside the box on Wednesday with another fresh lengthy reach strike in the first half, just to be hailed offside.
The England captain got his goal after the break and typically Son was the supplier, playing in Kane after a perfect piece of expertise.
There's something else to say about Kane and Son however it merits bringing up that like the whole crew, they will just profit from a full pre-season under Conte.
Kane, all things considered, didn't actually get moving until mid-December keep going season (Conte showed up on November 1) while Son likewise got some margin to discover real confidence in the Italian framework prior to detonating in the last long time of the time.
Kane is continuously looking for minimal increases to improve, and on the off chance that Son's father is to be accepted, last season's Premier League Golden Boot champ can likewise go up a level or two.
Unlikely as it might appear, the most deadly pair in Premier League history ought to have the stage to be far and away superior in the approaching season.
Another job for Lucas
With Djed Spence back in London ready to be revealed as a Spurs player, Conte isn't shy of choices at the right wing-back.
So it was a shock to see Lucas Moura line up there against Sevilla, with Matt Doherty and Emerson Royal as final part subs.
Last season, you contemplated whether Lucas may be allowed an opportunity to be Spurs' Victor Moses (he's not a disparate profile to January target Adama Traore) however Conte never explored different avenues regarding the Brazilian at wing-back.
With Richarlison supporting Spurs' going after choices and Ivan Perisic additionally ready to play in the front three, is Conte considering changing Lucas over completely to wing-back for the new season?
Conceivably, despite the fact that it's similarly as logical the choice depended on minimal more than overseeing minutes during pre-season or maybe a craving for a speedier choice on the flank, more like Spence in profile.
One way or the other, it's a circumstance worth watching out for. Obviously, Lucas investing energy at wing-back next season would be horrid information for Doherty and Emerson, who want to remain at Spurs.
Everything being equal, Lucas did OK, getting all over well, regardless of whether he needed a finished result in the last third.
Midfield fights hard to call
From February last season, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur were immovably settled as Conte's midfield two however for every one of their characteristics this was as much about need as plan.
With Oliver, Skipp sidelined from January and Harry Winks - - who has been left in London - - unfancied, Conte had not many choices.
However, that is different at this point.
Skipp is fit once more, and began for the second time in South Korea against the Spaniards, while Spurs have signed Yves Bissouma from Brighton, despite the fact that his pre-season arrangements have been shaken by a positive Covid test and he is as yet secluded in the team in Seoul.
With Spurs contending on four fronts across the most steady season ever, each of the four will get a lot of minutes however it will be interesting to see which pair arise as Conte's best option two.
Of the present starters, Skipp put in one more noteworthy showcase in Suwon, in spite of the fact that it was a blended trip from Hojbjerg, who two times gifted Sevilla chances with free passes in the principal half.
