‘Sorry’ De Zerbi won’t panic after Spurs’ miserable start

Roberto De Zerbi issued an apology for Tottenham's 2-0 loss to Newcastle, but stated he wouldn't panic following the club's worst start to a season in 52 years. The match saw Newcastle take the lead in the 62nd minute, followed by a goal from Yoane Wissa in the 70th minute, leaving Tottenham fans disappointed and leaving the stadium early.

Tottenham's financial investment in the offseason totaled over £300 million as De Zerbi restructured the squad following a near-relegation finish the previous season. The team has experienced three consecutive opening day defeats without a goal since 1974-75. Despite the recent setbacks, De Zerbi remains confident in the team's future, expressing regret for the fans' experience and emphasizing the need for improvement on the field.

He has already signed eight players since the end of last season and hopes to make one more major signing before the transfer window closes at the end of September. De Zerbi highlighted the team's lack of defensive coordination as a key issue, but acknowledged that they created numerous scoring opportunities and urged his team to refine their decision-making.
