Adept at a system with three defenders, the Spurs began their first two meetings with Conte, in a 3-4-3 system that risks highlighting a game of rapid transitions using in particular the depth game of Heung Min His.

The ball exits from Hugo Lloris may be extremely worked to create imbalance in their own camp.
