Roberto De Zerbi Prepares Tottenham for Clash Against Relegated Wolves
Tottenham Hotspur is set to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in their upcoming Premier League match on Saturday afternoon.
The pressure mounts for Spurs as Roberto De Zerbi looks for his first win as manager. The Italian team suffered a 1-0 defeat to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light and drew against Brighton and Hove Albion in stoppage time last weekend, shifting their focus entirely to the match against Wolves.
De Zerbi believes Tottenham can secure victories in their remaining five games to avoid relegation, starting with their encounter against Wolves. The Wanderers became the first club relegated from the Premier League earlier this week, with Rob Edwards’ side now playing for pride in their final matches.
De Zerbi Expresses Confidence Ahead of Wolves Match
Wolves have an impressive record against Tottenham, remaining unbeaten in their last six league matches, with four wins and two draws. Additionally, Spurs have lost their last three outings at Molineux. Therefore, De Zerbi and his team must respect the Old Gold, who have surprised several top teams at home this season.
During his pre-match press conference, De Zerbi discussed the challenges posed by Wolves. The 46-year-old anticipates a tough match, particularly as the hosts have “nothing to lose.”
“It’s a tough game because they have nothing to lose,” De Zerbi stated (h/t The Independent).
“It’s an important game for us, for sure, but we have to be able to play with not too much pressure.”
