"Arsenal are now probably the best team in the world at this moment. If we were thinking today that it's a derby and we can give something more, more mentality and more motivation, the reality is that there are things you can't change in 3-4 training sessions. It's impossible. So this was not a perfect team to play in the first game, but we need something good and today shows me the level."
"Without the ball, a lack of confidence is very evident. I am very sad, angry, I am everything, but it is good to understand where is our goal and to become serious. The medicine is to look in the mirror, but I saw the will and the passion, so I am not angry because they didn't do, but because they weren't able to do at this moment."
Igor Tudor's first match in charge of Tottenham ended in a 4-1 defeat in the North London derby. Arsenal secured the win with two goals apiece from Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres, while Randal Kolo Muani scored Tottenham's lone goal. The result exposed a significant gulf between the sides and highlighted Tottenham's fragile confidence without the ball. Tudor indicated that some problems cannot be fixed in a few training sessions and said the squad must change habits and state of mind. He noted visible will and passion but insisted on self-reflection and seriousness with 11 league matches remaining.
