'We have the qualities to get out' - Kinsky on relegation battle
[Getty Images] Tottenham need to take what they learned from the 1-0 victory at Wolves last weekend into their final Premier League run-in if they want to avoid relegation, says goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky. The 23-year-old has recently been asked to step in for first-choice keeper Guglielmo Vicario, who had hernia surgery last month, and helped Spurs earn their first victory in 16 games on Saturday, when he kept out Joao Gomes' free kick in the final minutes at Molineux Stadium. "For the save, I am happy for that because it was a good moment at the end of the game.
I just stayed calm and did what I am supposed to do," Kinsky said. "We know that every game we need to get the points as much as possible, so of course we did it and got the three points. We want to continue this in the next games.
"It is more about keeping balanced - being focused on the offensive part of the game if you have the ball 70% [of the time] or something like this and then at the back being compact and ready for any counter. "I think we did it well and especially in the first half. Second half could be better and I think these are the things we can take into the next game.
" Roberto de Zerbi's side currently sit 18th in the Premier League, two points behind West Ham United above the drop zone, and Kinsky could play a part in the fight to keep Spurs from their first demotion since 1977. "The determination is huge. We feel that we want it, the fans want it, everyone is behind us and we will do everything we can.
"Of course we got ourselves into this situation which we don't want to be but I believe we are doing the right things to get out and I believe we have the qualities to get out. "
