Tottenham 2-2 Brighton: What De Zerbi and Porro said
Today we deserved to win the game against one great Brighton. Roberto De Zerbi has won just one of his last 12 matches in the Premier League (D3 L8), while he has failed to win either of his opening two games in both of his spells in charge of Premier League sides (D1 L1, also with Brighton in October 2022).
Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi, speaking to Sky Sports: "I am sorry for the result, for the players, because they are suffering too much. Today we deserved to win the game against one great Brighton. A big congratulations for their style, their level of players and everything.
We couldn't concede that goal from Rutter. " On whether there were positives for him to take: "I am positive, but I am proud of my players. They played a fantastic game with character and spirit.
We have to be stronger than this result, we have to move on and prepare for the next game and try to win the game at Wolves. If you are strong like today, I think we can compete again. " On what he said to players after the game: "I said to be strong, to follow me again and again because I want to help them.
They can change the mentality because that is the most important part. Now it's too easy to think negative, but we have to be focused on this performance and work to find the condition to win again. I am positive because I know my players, I know their qualities.
