Mentality key to Premier League revival for Spurs, says De Zerbi
Roberto De Zerbi, who steered the club to finish one place above the relegation zone, said a busy summer transfer window alone would not ensure long-term success.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi emphasized that restoring the team's spirit and mentality is crucial to their revival following two seasons near the bottom of the Premier League. The 47-year-old manager, who took over in March and narrowly avoided relegation, believes a busy summer transfer window alone will not suffice for long-term success.
De Zerbi stated on the Men in Blazers YouTube channel, "We have to find the condition to build a strong team, than the last seasons to compete again for the top of the table." He focused on the team's soul, passion, and mentality, rather than just their playing style. De Zerbi added, "I would like when we go to play in the Premier League... the people recognise one's soul, passion, value of the player."
He concluded, "The qualities of the players are not enough. If you don't put something more, something of yourself, something you feel inside of you, it's very tough to now compete with the top teams in the world, in the Premier League." Tottenham starts their Premier League season against Brentford on August 22.
