Tottenham's head coach, Roberto De Zerbi, remains optimistic that his team can secure five consecutive victories in their remaining games to stay in the Premier League. Following a disappointing 2-2 draw against Brighton, which denied Spurs their first league win of 2026, De Zerbi expressed his belief in the team's ability to overcome their current challenges. Despite being in the bottom three, De Zerbi feels that his side has the necessary quality to win their upcoming matches, including tough games against Chelsea and Aston Villa. He emphasized the need for his players to maintain a positive attitude and mentality, stating that anyone with a negative approach will not be tolerated.
With five games left to play, De Zerbi's side is a point away from safety, and their next match against Wolves is crucial. The coach has called on his players to focus on the task at hand and to report to training with a positive mindset, warning that anyone who fails to do so will be sent home immediately. Meanwhile, Sky Sports analyst Peter Smith notes that this is not the time for small steps of progress, but rather a moment when Tottenham needs a significant boost to ensure their survival in the Premier League.
