Antonio Conte dodges questions about Harry Kane’s future

Antonio Conte is tired of unfair question about Kane’s future as he thinks he is not the one who should answer these questions.

Talking to the press ahead of

’s clash with Manchester City on Thursday night, Conte gave encouragement to Spurs fans about the way their team has developed but sees himself unfit to answer questions about Kane’s future.

"When we organise the [press] conference with the club, you can ask,"

Conte said.

"You can ask this question to the club. Keep these questions for the future and I hope for you that this does happen one day so that you can make this question to the club.

"It's not disrespectful to you, but I repeat we are always saying the same thing. Why do I always have to answer difficult questions and you try with this question or put me in difficulty with the club, with the environment?

"I hope you understand that I don't want to create problems because I always say that I like the way that we are working here, what we are doing, and stop, because in the past I think that I said a lot."

is only a goal away from breaking Jimmy Greaves’ goal record for Tottenham, having scored 265 for them. His current contract with the club runs until the end of next season.

Conte was asked about his more defensive tactics which have been a point of discussion lately and if he intends to change them.

"You have to know that when you put the best players on the pitch, you don't have on the bench the possibility to change the game,"

Conte said

. "But in my career, I played with four [in defence] and I won two championships with 4-2-4.

"And then at Juventus, I started this way. At Chelsea, I started to play with the 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2, and then I changed it because the characteristic of the players was not so good to play with four at the back.

"And when I arrived last season at Tottenham, I found the solution for the characteristic of the players. In my opinion, that this is the best solution for the characteristic of the players but in the future, probably, we can try but if we lose I'll justify [it]."
