Only seventeenth in the Premier League, Tottenham is having a very complicated start to the season. The Spurs are in seventeenth place with only two small points and still not a single goal scored. A worrying start-up delay after a transfer window with around 370 million euros spent and two seasons in a row which ended in 17th position. Spurs coach, Roberto De Zerbi had played down the situation in his own way after the last draw against Everton (0-0). The Italian coach distinguished himself with a rather lunar outing: “in Italy, with 2 clean sheets in the last 2 matches, I would be the best coach in the world. No ? What would the Gazzetta dello Sport write? Two clean sheets. I arrived last season, the shit was at this level (he raised his hand, Editor’s note). It was shit. Now let me explain, I’m sorry for the results, but today we played as a team. Today and against Nottingham.

An outing little appreciated by Christophe Dugarry. The 1998 world champion pulled the pin on RMC Sport : “he signed for five years, the robbery he does, without the hood. It’s crazy stuff! And there, it’s every week in England that they pay you so you can go there. It’s magnificent what he does. He proved so much in football that he was incredible. I never understood what this gentleman’s true level was. They explain to me that it worked well in Brighton, in Sassuolo and I don’t remember where. For me, he is not an absolute reference for coaching big clubs, he had his chance. For now, he’s having trouble grasping it. The statements he made about some people, about others, this gentleman is totally out of line. It’s astonishing to have so little lucidity about what you’re saying. Is there no one around him who will tell him: ‘Shut up!’? He is totally perched.»
