Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi has expressed his delight following his side’s victory over Coventry in Monday’s Premier League fixture. While acknowledging that Spurs have produced more fluent performances in previous matches, the Italian tactician stressed the crucial importance of overcoming a dangerous opponent capable of punishing mistakes. “We are very happy for the result.
If I’m honest, I think we played better in other games, for example at Old Trafford,” De Zerbi told the Premier League website. “It was important to get this result.
When you play a team like Coventry, you can’t see the difficult situation, but if you make a mistake, then you see a counterattack.” De Zerbi also reserved high praise for James Maddison, highlighting the midfielder’s spectacular goal and unique importance to the team. “Maddison scored a great goal and that is important; he is a different player,” he added.
Additionally, the Spurs boss revealed that Dejan Kulusevski received a special reception in the dressing room after the final whistle, describing the moment as a major boost for both the individual and the club. “And we celebrated Kulusevski in the dressing room at the end of the game. It is a great thing for us and the player.”
