The 24-year-old explained that when Antonio Conte left, he expected to get playing time but things never got better for him until the December of last year.
“It’s a new manager and I knew that when a new manager comes in you know that everyone is going to get a chance,” Djed Spence said on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast.
“You know, he’s going to have a look at everyone. With me, I don’t think that was really the case to be fair. It’s part of the game, football is not fair.”

'It would be counterproductive'- Paul Pogba's future hangs in the balance amid Marseille's hesitation
Marseille remains interested in signing Paul Pogba, but his doping ban and recovery concerns have delayed the move.
Standing up for himself
)
He added that he always spoke to one of the Assistant coaches about why he never got chances to play but that never changed anything.
He pointed out that there was a thin line between maintaining humbleness and speaking up for what he thought he deserved and that was one of the main challenges.
“I always had conversations with the assistant coach and I basically told him that I’m the one. I told him I should be playing or at least given a chance,” Djed Spence added.
“It’s a difficult one because you say like you deserve a chance to play and stuff or you want to have a chance and people can see it like, not arrogance, but you haven’t done anything to warrant to play. I mean, it’s different.”
What cost him playing time?
)
Djed Spence revealed that one of the costly mistakes he made while joining the club was that he had too much respect for the players and the coaches and they took advantage of him.
He noted that he never spoke up when his rights were being violated and they normalized that at te club, making him afraid to change his tune.
“I think I’ve been a victim of being quiet, being too humble you know thinking things are going to happen by not doing anything or saying anything but football is unfair,” he shared.
“That’s what happened when I first joined Tottenham, I think I gave them too much respect to the players, I was a little bit too humble.”
