"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."
Tottenham lost 4-1 to Arsenal in the north London derby, with Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyökeres scoring two goals each and Randal Kolo Muani briefly equalising for Spurs. The defeat arrived in the head coach's first game since a managerial change. The result exposed a large gap in quality, low team confidence, and shortcomings without the ball. Tottenham have not won a league game in 2026 and now face 11 Premier League matches to avoid relegation. Immediate changes in habits, mentality and state of mind are required alongside maintaining will and passion to improve results.
