  "account": "Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham Hotspur's coach, believes that his team can use their poor record at Chelsea as motivation for their upcoming Premier League match against the London rivals on Saturday. The Spurs have only won once at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League era, while losing 10 of the last 12 matches between the two clubs. However, De Zerbi is confident in his team's abilities and stated that this negative record is just one more motivation they have. He further added that it is not a new problem for them as they already have many problems. De Zerbi also mentioned that Tottenham's bid for a first win at Stamford Bridge since 2018 is not helped by the absence of Destiny Udogie and potentially James Maddison, who has missed three days of training.",
