Hi, all!
Let’s start with some words from Sergio Reguilón.
"Now I'm the person who is the happiest in the world. I am dead but I am so happy."

If you’ll allow me, I have a mostly inconsequential thing to say about the last few Tottenham matches. The performances aren’t fully enjoyable yet, but I must say I’ve taken a liking to how expressive Antonio Conte on the touchline.

I know it isn’t new for him — I just didn’t really have an opinion on it before. Nowadays, though, I like reminders that football is something that should inspire a little bit of passion in us. It doesn’t materialize in the same way for everyone, and there isn’t a wrong way to enjoy the sport. I have no problem with quiet types — I can be one during a match, especially one that insults me enough to be bored by it. (We can get into this another time, but my true footballing enemy is a boring game.) I just like watching Conte being distinctly himself,
It’s not the main reason I’m interested in the Conte era at Spurs, or probably the top 15. (Full transparency: I came up with that number almost out of nowhere, and I don’t know if I have a list 15 or 16 items long here.) It’s just something that provided me a small amount of enjoyment yesterday, and I find enjoying small things cool.
tl;dr: I’m really enjoying how expressive Antonio Conte is on the touchline.
