ottenham beat the heat but could only secure a draw against Seville in a sweltering Suwon on Saturday.
The Korea pre-season tour has seen Antonio Contea put his costs through the wringer and this friendly one was no different.
Played in temperatures approaching 30ºC, there was minimal wind and humidity of over 80 percent for both teams.
The Spurs led in the second half via Harry Kane before Ivan Rakitic scored to seal a 1-1 drawwith Son Heung-min the locals favorite of course.
A return to relatively cooler climates now awaits Tottenham, who face Rangers next weekend in Ibrox, for a trip to Israel to take on Italy’s Roma and longtime boss Jose Mourinho.
Conte said after the game: “For us it’s positive, especially because we’re working in preparation, at the same time, to play this kind of game when you know you’re a little tired is good for the connection between the players. to talk a lot, to help each other.
“Then I saw positive things. We should definitely try to improve in other areas, but after this week in Korea I am very happy, we worked very well and showed a great attitude, great commitment and a great desire to prepare for a good season.”
