Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi says a series of clear-the-air discussions and a bonding training trip helped improve the team’s togetherness, contributing to their first Premier League victory of the season. Spurs move out of the relegation zone after beating Coventry City 3-1 at home.
De Zerbi acknowledges the match against Coventry could have been better, but he focuses on the group’s attitude and spirit. He also links the renewed mindset to earlier efforts within the squad, including conversations to address issues internally, and a warm-weather period of work together. The BBC adds that De Zerbi believes Tottenham currently lack confidence but are still a good team, while the Guardian reports the approach also follows a 1-1 draw with Manchester United in which Spurs played with 10 men.
