Tottenham boss Antonio Conte says he is working hard to infuse a winning
mentality throughout the whole club.
Spurs are currently third in the Premier League, four points behind leaders Arsenal
and three behind Manchester City ahead of Saturday's home match against
Everton.

Conte said it was not difficult to convey his message verbally but it was
tougher to instill good habits in his men.
"I think to transfer this message with the words is not difficult
because I think everyone can speak about mentality, the winning mentality,
everybody," he said at his pre-match press conference on Friday.
"The difficulty is to transfer this concept every day through their
work, through their behaviour.
"If we want to transfer this concept you have to know this concept
because you did this path in the past and then you have to find players and an
environment open to receive this situation."
The Italian admitted that building a winning mentality was hard work.
"We are working a lot on this aspect," he said. "I'm enjoying
a lot to work with these players and to try to involve the whole Tottenham
environment because a winning mentality has to be for the whole club and not
only for the players."
Conte said he had not been concerned with the lack of goals from forward Son
Heung-min earlier in the season after the South Korean scored twice against
Eintracht Frankfurt in Tottenham's midweek Champions League win.
"I wasn't really worried about Sonny or if last season Harry (Kane)
didn't score goals," said the Italian boss.
"I think we are talking about two important players for us and they
work very well. It can happen during the season that you have a period that you
can't score or you are a bit unlucky.
"But I repeat -- we are talking about two important strikers. For sure
at the end of the season, I know that they are going to score more goals to
help us to try to do our best."
