Tottenham coach Roberto De Zerbi has revealed that he kissed midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur in the dressing room following the 1-1 draw against Manchester United. The kiss was meant to demonstrate the club's need for "character." Bentancur was substituted in the 66th minute, replacing Lucas Bergvall, but his time on the pitch ended only 12 minutes later when he was given a red card for headbutting Luke Shaw.
De Zerbi criticized the red card and praised Tottenham's display, stating that they showed team spirit and dominance throughout the game. Despite conceding a goal, the team reacted positively, winning the match 2-1 thanks to a header from Dominic Solanke, who also scored a potential hat-trick before being substituted. De Zerbi emphasized the importance of character in football, noting that the team needed to demonstrate this in the face of adversity.
