Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

[Harrier]

Clearly didn't see him. Non story.

Watching it again I reckon you’re bang on!

Clearly didn't see him. Non story.

Not if Matt Law is concerned " Danish International tired of wigged Italian's menacing touchline antics"

 

[DJS]

Poor Conte looked so sad and unloved for a moment…

Then he found another spurs player to celebrate with and all was right in the world again!

 

[aliyid]

Just seen this from a different angle, he def saw him and flung his arm away

Hopefully something they will sort privately and nip in the bud before it builds into anything more.

Holy fuck..

 

[dimiSpur]

Well something's clearly not right there...

 

[noggen]

Thank god we have the Spurs community's body language experts..

 

[The Apprentice]

Who cares if he did pull away. Maybe he was pissed off about something. Who cares? Didn't impact his performance and we definitely got a reaction from Pierre after being dropped last week.

Nothing wrong with a bit of conflict at a top club. Conte has a history of pushing players to the edge and not being their best mate.

 

[arunspurs]

If Hojberg keeps being silly, he knows he would be out of team in summer. Both Conte & Hojberg are adults - whether they had a row or not, I fully expect them to get along...infact better than ever, after such a performance and win.

 

[Japhet]

I reckon Bentancur has cemented his place for now, and Kulusevski did a great job covering RW and RM so I think he's in now too. It will be interesting to see who gets the nod once Skipp is back because I reckon he'll be perfect for the role Hojbjerg had on Saturday (and did very well too).

Are you realistically suggesting there's no issue in that clip? Because if that's your position then you're doing exactly the same thing. Interpreting body language, just with a different (and perhaps wishful) conclusion, no?

 

[kaz Hirai]

maybe been on the receiving end of some hard truths after southampton, and maybe again at half time against city. So could be super pissed with him.
But then they'll soon kiss and make up, we've all seen it happen a bunch of times with other teams

 

[DJS]

As long as he follows Contes ways until end of season it’s all good, and if still an issue in summer there will only be one winner…

I’d be pissed too if I was dropped for Winks. Clearly cares about the team

Perhaps, but surely they would have seen each other all week in training since the Wolves game. Just looks odd to choose this moment after winning a hard-fought game to have a little protest. If that's what it is, if it is indeed anything.

 

[curlacious]

I don't think this footage is as conclusive as people are making out. Not even sure he saw Conte, and even if his gesture is categorically 'pissed off'.

look close and you can see he spots conte approaching then bolts for it, the dont touch me arm pull also makes it obvious

Supposedly falling out between players use to happen quite often during Training down at the old Cheshunt Training Ground with 60/61 double winning side. Didn't stop the team performing and winning matches and trophies.

Maybe he was keeping social distancing up. He just missed the memo that rules had been relaxed and hugging is ok again.

It happens all the time between competitive people. Hugo and Son springs to mind. In a week they will have forgotten about it.
