space to think, ‘right, we’ve actually got ourselves out there, and now we just have to keep ourselves out of there’.
But I think what’s lovely is Roberto de Zerbi’s kind
of passion on the sideline and I just love that he’s so energetic and so passionate. I just
think that’s what Spurs needed.
I was worried
when he came at first because there were talks about how long it takes to implement a
style for the players to get a hold of. But I think he’s obviously put that to
one side and just gone, ‘listen, we need energy, we need pace, we need passion’ and he’s shown that and it’s coming out in his players.
So I think they
have a great chance and fingers crossed they do.
