Antonio Conte says his Tottenham players have to understand that ambitious teams treat draws and defeats in the same way.
"You have to understand if the draw is a success for you or if the draw is [like] a loss," Conte told Standard Sport ahead of tomorrow's visit of Wolves.
"If you want to have ambition, you have to think only to get three points and a draw is half a loss for me. I'm trying to transfer my idea, transfer this feeling [to the players].
"Because It's important. If you want to be competitive, to have ambition to fight for something important you have to improve in many aspects. Also your character has to be strong and you have to understand very well the difference between a win, a draw and a loss. It's totally different.
"The win makes you happy, the feeling is good, the confidence goes up. When you lose, for you should have the opposite situation."
