Tottenham need 'blood & fight' not just to play better - de Zerbi

Roberto de Zerbi expressed frustration with his Tottenham Hotspur squad after they suffered a 3-2 defeat to Aston Villa in top-flight action. The manager highlighted that his players require greater grit and determination instead of merely attempting to elevate their technical performance.

Demanding an increase in resilience, the Spurs boss stressed that the roster must show greater fortitude on the pitch. Rather than attributing the setback to a lack of talent, he pointed directly to the team's attitude and mentality as the key areas needing correction.
