“We have to change our mindset,” the Lenglet told Tottenhamhotspur.com.
“After a big defeat, you can have a new opportunity and we are ready to fight against United, to find the right solutions to win the game. It’s the first final for us. They are in the top four at the moment but they still have to fight until the end to stay there and we have to try and find a place for us.
“We need to start the game from minute one until the end with intensity and aggressiveness to show everyone that we are still alive and we will keep that fire in our hearts until the end because we have to.”
Lenglet added: “Ryan (Mason) was a player here, so he knows the exertions of the sport and he knows what to demand from us. He’s transparent, direct and always tells the truth which I think is a good thing. We are here to give 100 per cent to help him because it’s never easy to take this responsibility right now. I hope we’ll have a lot of success until the end of the season.”
The France defender, who was added to Tottenham’s backline on loan from Barcelona, has been a strong addition. After being an unused substitute in the defeat at Tyneside while he recovered from an injury. He is now working hard to be in line to start against United and strengthen the defence.
