Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has called on his players to find the breakthrough moment that can change their difficult start, insisting he remains confident in the quality within his squad.
De Zerbi’s comments come at a challenging period for Spurs, who remain without a Premier League goal after their opening four matches. Tottenham have collected just two points from those games, while their latest 3-1 Carabao Cup defeat to Liverpool added further pressure around the team.
The Italian coach believes Tottenham’s problems can be resolved once the team develops greater confidence and consistency in the final third. Despite the results, he has continued to back the players brought in during the summer rebuild.
Softfootball believes De Zerbi’s message reflects his determination to remain positive while Tottenham search for their first league victory and goal of the campaign. The club invested heavily in the squad during the transfer window, with several new attacking players still adapting to the manager’s system.
Tottenham’s inability to score has already created unwanted history, with the club failing to find the net in each of their first four Premier League fixtures for the first time. Their goalless run extended beyond 400 minutes before Conor Gallagher scored against Liverpool in the League Cup.
De Zerbi has nevertheless maintained that the squad possesses enough quality to turn the situation around. He believes that once the players find the necessary rhythm and confidence, Tottenham can begin producing the results expected of them.
The Spurs boss will now turn his attention to Saturday’s Premier League meeting with Aston Villa, another opportunity for his side to finally break their league scoring drought.
For De Zerbi, the immediate task is to transform Tottenham’s promising moments into goals and victories while maintaining the confidence he has publicly shown in his players.
