roberto de zerbi – Wolfnewss

Roberto De Zerbi confirmed on Friday that Cristian Romero will miss the rest of Tottenham’s battle for Premier League survival, but remains optimistic that just one win can transform his side’s fortunes.

Romero suffered a knee injury, which could also endanger his place in Argentina’s World Cup squad, during last weekend’s 1-0 defeat by Sunderland in De Zerbi’s first match in charge.

“I am really sorry for him and his injury,” said De Zerbi.

“Romero first of all loves Tottenham and the people have to know he is suffering for this injury and because he cannot play any more for us this season,” he added.

Without a win in 14 league games, Spurs are two points adrift of safety with six matches of the campaign to go.

But victory against De Zerbi’s former club Brighton on Saturday would propel Tottenham out of the bottom three for at least 48 hours.

“I think it is crucial to win a game not just for the table. Of course, one part of the table for sure, but we have to feel again what it is nice to win a game and what it can do. I have no doubts about the quality of the players,” De Zerbi said.

In a bid to build team chemistry, De Zerbi took his players out to dinner this week in London’s Mayfair. The Italian is happy to pick up the bill for more dinners in the coming weeks if he is rewarded with results on the field.

“The food was amazing and if we win, I am ready to pay every week for one dinner,” said the former Marseille coach.

“I am positive, I am ready to fight, and I believe in keeping Premier League (status). I believe in the words that I said last week. The focus is to win one game,” he added.

Rodrigo Bentancur could make his return from a three-month injury layoff against the Seagulls. However, first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario remains out after surgery on a hernia.

Roberto De Zerbi said one win can “change everything” for Tottenham as the full extent of his task to save them from relegation became clear after Sunday’s 1-0 defeat at Sunderland.

The Italian took over from interim boss Igor Tudor at the end of last month and Spurs started his first match at the helm in the Premier League drop zone after West Ham beat Wolves on Friday.

The Spurs defeat, courtesy of Nordi Mukiele’s heavily deflected strike in the second half, left them two points behind the Hammers with just six games to go.

Sorry Spurs have not won a Premier League game since late December and are facing a huge battle to avoid their first relegation since 1977.

But former Brighton and Marseille boss De Zerbi — the London club’s third manager of a shocking season — said a win would change the mood.

“We have to work on one win because with one win we can change everything this season,” he told Sky Sports.

“I have 24 hours per day and it is not a problem of time. We created chances in the first half, the same we have done in the week.

“The players have great quality but we have to believe more in ourselves and the crucial part is to win one game.

“We can play much better than today but after five or six training games it is difficult. All together we have to stay focused to win one game.”

Tottenham faces Brighton next week, with a game against bottom club Wolves to follow, but it is difficult to see where its next win is going to come from.

De Zerbi said his new team, who have lost half of their 32 league matches this season, had the quality but were suffering a crisis of confidence.

“I can be a big brother, father, they don’t need a coach,” he told the BBC. “They don’t need to improve football. They can play better and they will play better once we reach a different level of confidence.”
