Premier League: Tottenham sinks deeper into crisis as De Zerbi criticizes his players
After losing 3-2 at home to Aston Villa on Saturday, Spurs remain winless in the league this season, a situation that prompted their coach to raise his voice.
Tottenham suffered another setback on Saturday, September 19, falling 3-2 at home to Aston Villa, according to RFI. The defeat comes as the London club navigates a difficult start to the Premier League season.
Aston Villa, also struggling since the start of the season, was nonetheless seen as a winnable opponent for Spurs. But Tottenham failed to capitalize on the opportunity and remains winless in the league, RFI reports.
After the match, Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi was highly critical of his players in explaining the latest failure. "I did not like his performance," he said, according to statements reported by RFI, directly targeting his team's attitude on the pitch.
The defeat heightens the pressure on the Italian tactician, whose team has failed to live up to expectations since the start of the season.
