After a particularly crazy summer, Tottenham is still struggling to find the right formula at the start of the season. Despite nearly 350 million euros invested in the transfer window, Spurs have still not scored a single goal in the Premier League after three days, with two defeats against Brentford and Newcastle then a 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest. For Roberto De Zerbi, however, it would be too easy to draw conclusions so quickly. “We bought very, very good players, but you cannot build a team only with names like in Football Manager”launched the Italian coach, who recalled that his group had only been working together for a very short time. “We are disappointed with the result, but very satisfied with the performance. Especially since we started working together last Thursday, for the first time, on the first day. »
“We must progress in all aspects of football, organization with and without the ball”he explained, while showing satisfaction with the attitude displayed towards Forest. The technician particularly emphasizes the lack of accuracy in the last third: “We have to work because I think we played very well with the ball, we found the solution. I think we can be much better in the last 30 meters. » Before summarizing his main criticism: “In the final third of the pitch we need to improve, make better decisions, maybe stay calmer when we are about to achieve something important. » For him, Tottenham must therefore be patient and build gradually despite this worrying start to the season: “Taking a point in this stadium is not so easy. We’re not happy that we didn’t win, but it’s the right mindset and the right way to move forward. »
