  "account": "Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi remains focused on the bigger picture despite his side's recent 0-2 start to the Premier League season. The manager emphasized the importance of staying calm and patient as he has faced similar challenges before in his career. De Zerbi highlighted that Tottenham played well for 60-65 minutes against Newcastle United and had more chances to score than their opponents. However, the team failed to capitalize on these opportunities, resulting in a lackluster performance. The manager acknowledged that the team is still finding its footing and that it is normal for a new team to require improvement in various aspects. De Zerbi stressed that the players are working hard and are not angry about the result, as they understand the significance of the season. He reassured the fans and players that the team has the potential to turn things around and rectify the mistakes of the past two seasons.",
