Tottenham snatched an important draw this Saturday on the Manchester United pitch (1-1) at the end of a crazy scenario, showing tremendous resilience. A reaction of pride so necessary for Spurs who are experiencing a particularly failed start to the season, stuck in eighteenth place in the Premier League standings and with Roberto De Zerbi already under strong pressure to reverse the trend. Despite the direct expulsion of Rodrigo Bentancur at the end of the match for a dangerous tackle followed by a gesture of humor on Luke Shaw, Roberto De Zerbi preferred to emphasize the character of his players.
After the match, he even explained that he had kissed the Uruguayan midfielder for his red card: “we suffered throughout the match, in every situation. I like the situation we found ourselves in after the red card. We need this kind of situation. We did not accept defeat. We must respond in every way possible. This is not the right way to do things, this is not the right approach. I kissed Bentancur in the locker room. Football is about character.» We’ll let you judge the methods.
