Tottenham Hotspur's new manager, Roberto De Zerbi, fired up the squad after a 1‑0 win over Wolves, a victory that lifted morale but left the team still two points adrift of safety. He slammed the negative chatter, insisting the club was “not relegated yet” and demanding focus on the pitch for the season ahead.

With injuries to Xavi Simons and Dominic Solanke, the squad faces a daunting task. De Zerbi warned that negative voices—about unlucky injuries or poor facilities—are pointless. He highlighted the depth of the squad, naming Kolo Muani, Tel, Richarlison, Pedro Porro, and others as potential impact players for the season ahead.

Ahead of the trip to Aston Villa, Spurs could fall five points behind West Ham if they win at Brentford on Saturday. De Zerbi dismissed the idea of a miracle at Villa Park, noting the club’s quality and the need to silence internal doubt. He urged the team to stay positive for the season ahead and to avoid relegation pressure today.

The manager’s rallying cry underscores the urgency of Tottenham’s survival push. With only a handful of games left, every point matters. The club’s leadership must channel the squad’s potential into results, or the relegation battle will swing further out of reach for the season ahead and to keep fans hopeful.
