"Defoe expressed confidence in De Zerbi's ability to keep Tottenham in the Premier League, stating, 'He's someone that comes in with an unbelievable CV.' He emphasized the importance of De Zerbi's playing style, saying, 'When you look at his playing style, as football fans, you have to appreciate and enjoy the way they play.'"
"Defoe recalled his admiration for De Zerbi's previous work, noting, 'I remember the [De Zerbi] Brighton team, watching Brighton play, thinking, 'wow, this is the right way to play football.' He believes De Zerbi's experience and confidence will benefit Spurs significantly."
Roberto De Zerbi has been appointed as Tottenham's new head coach on a long-term contract after Igor Tudor's brief tenure. Despite Spurs' poor performance, sitting just above the relegation zone and having not won in 13 league matches, Jermain Defoe believes De Zerbi's attractive style of play will be crucial for the team's survival. The Opta supercomputer indicates a 27.5% chance of relegation for Spurs, who have only accumulated 30 points from 31 games this season, matching their lowest return after 31 matches in history.
