The following excerpt is taken from a British newspaper:

Chelsea Football Club's Antonio Conte: 'I think Tottenham now is the best team. They are in great form. They have a lot of enthusiasm because they are feeling the POSSIBILITY to write history'

My question is this:

Don't you think that 'chance' or 'opportunity' are more appropriate or better grammar than "possibility"?

Thank you.

Yes. Conte is not a native English speaker.

@centrox,
Thank you very much for your prompt response.

Would you please rephrase the sentence for me using 'chance' or 'opportunity'?

Thank you.
