Spurs today showed that they don't really care about Conference League, you saw their squad? So, in the end, they just made 2 shots in total, 0 on target and lost 0:1. Seems that they don't want to play in 3rd tier competition. But I think for them even Conference League trophy would be good, there isn't much persoective for them in EPL or domestic cups.
Maybe this was more of a calculated risk where manager did not want to burden first team with travelling in very delicate part of season when training sessions are at their maximum. We will see if they will play with stronger team on their home pitch. They were awful but result is just 1:0, easy to turn around.
My Rijeka had 1:0 in difficult away game against PAOK but they conceded in last seconds of the match. Nevermind, still a good result to bring home from hostile stadium like the one in Greece
It seems to me that for the top English football teams there is only one important international club competition and that is only the Champions League.
All other international football competitions are not interesting enough for them and they do not try too hard and do not play with the best players, unless the opportunity arises to win a place in the Champions League.
As for Rijeka, they had a very big chance to win in Greece but they missed it.
It will be very difficult for them to beat PAOK in Rijeka and I think the Greeks are the favorites.
However, Rijeka also has chances and it will be a very interesting match. It is obvious that it is a handicap for PAOK that the Greek championship has not started yet.
