Igor Tudor reaction - What did Spurs boss say after taking a massive step toward relegation?

"It was two games. After the red card, it was a different game. The second half, we tried. I saw interesting things second half. Very disappointed, like the fans. We need to stay quiet, keep working and believe. After this game, I believe more. Maybe sounds strange, but I saw something in the team."

"Some energy, some passion, the fight. It was there. Unfortunately the red card changed the game, but there are still nine games to play. [Cristian] Romero is coming with us [back from suspension]. [Kevin] Danso was good today, [Pedro] Porro is no different. Maybe some other players will come [back], so we can be complete."

Tottenham suffered a 1-3 defeat to Crystal Palace at home, with the match effectively decided by Micky van de Ven's red card and penalty concession just four minutes after Spurs took a 1-0 lead. Palace capitalized ruthlessly, scoring three goals between the 40th and 45th+7 minutes. Manager Igor Tudor acknowledged the disappointing result but highlighted encouraging signs in the second half and the team's fighting spirit. He emphasized that nine games remain and expressed optimism about the return of suspended players like Cristian Romero, suggesting the squad will be strengthened. Tudor dismissed talk of pressure, stating it was not a topic worth discussing.
