The Antonio Conte won the FA Cup and the Premier League.
Spurs were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Chelsea in the first leg and Antonio Conte says there are a lot of jobs to be done.
Kai Havertz's early goal and an own goal by Ben Davies were the only positives for Spurs as they lost 2-0 to Antonio Conte's club.
The Italian says the performance showed how far behind Spurs are.
"For me to have patience is important," said Conte.
It is difficult to understand which part of the game you need to improve in this moment because there is a lot of things to improve.
We need time and patience. Everyone has to be patient, because the level has dropped a lot and now we have to fight to win every game.
It is not possible to change the situation in one or two transfer markets, according to the coach.
"We have to be humble, to understand the situation at the moment and continue to work to improve our players, then we will see," he said.
It's not easy to say 'go in the transfer market'. It will be difficult in January, but the most important thing is to be focused and work to improve.
The results in the league were good, we reached the semi-final in the Carabao Cup and for Spurs, that is a good target at the moment.
I always tell my players the truth. I like telling the truth and telling a good lie. They were a better team than us.
We have to try to change this situation slowly.
The league form of Spurs since the arrival of Conte has been good, with five wins and three draws.
They will need to overturn a two-goal deficit at the Spurs if they are to reach the League Cup final.
"They were better than us," said Conte.
There is no comparison between the two teams. We are talking about a team that is ready to win, and we have seen the difference between the two teams.
There is an important gap in the situation, and I know it. We have to fight to stay in the league, but if we think we are close, we are not in the right place.
