Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has disclosed that the team must resolve their mental issues if they are to fight their way out of relegation.
He made this statement following the team’s 2-1 win over Aston Villa on Sunday, which allowed them to move out of the relegation zone.
Fourth-bottom Tottenham are now one point above third-bottom West Ham, with both teams having three games left in the fight for survival.
Speaking with the club’s website, De Zerbi warned his players to guard against complacency.

“I think it was a mental problem and these two wins, I hope we can play with more confidence and better mentality,” he said.
“Villa are a very good team. A lot of very good players, a great manager, but we played very well for 60 minutes without the ball and with the ball.
“I’m pleased with this performance from my players. I know how much they have suffered this season.
“The high pressure is mentality and then in possession we played very well when we had to attack the space or to shoot. My job is to help them and show what they are capable of.”
