Roberto De Zerbi: Wanting Tottenham to be relegated is motivation for us

Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi emphasized that rival fans wanting his team to leave the Premier League should be a strong motivation for the players. Currently, the team is fighting for survival with two rounds left in the season. This is reported by Goal.com .

Tottenham is just two points above the relegation zone. The team has important matches ahead against Chelsea and Everton. De Zerbi's side needs only one point to stay in the Premier League, but the coach stated they will play for a win, not a draw.

The Italian specialist said that the pressure and hatred of rival fans should be turned into a positive: "If everyone wants Tottenham to be relegated, that is great motivation for me and my players. Football is beautiful precisely because of the competition. We must overcome this challenge and prove our pride."

Tottenham has historically poor results at Stamford Bridge, having won only once in their last 35 away games. Nevertheless, De Zerbi believes that his team's disciplined defense and mental state will help them emerge from this difficult situation.
