Tottenham are hoping to get off to a flying start under Roberto De Zerbi’s guidance this season. Tottenham somehow managed to escape further embarrassment last season after finding themselves in a relegation dogfight during the second half of the campaign. The Lilywhites struggled to get going, and the players appeared to have lost belief on the pitch. At one point, it looked highly likely that the North Londoners would go down after enduring a poor run of form under both Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor. However, the timely arrival of Roberto De Zerbi proved to be a blessing as he managed to steady the ship at N17. The Italian tactician restored belief in the dressing room, and the players began showing greater hunger to win on the pitch. The fans also started seeing positive signs from their team, and De Zerbi did exceptionally well to help the Lilywhites avoid relegation on the final day of the season. His immense contribution to helping Spurs escape further embarrassment also earned him cult status at N17. As a result, the Lewis family decided to back De Zerbi in the transfer market this summer by bringing in some top-quality players for the upcoming campaign. Spurs cannot afford to repeat the same mistakes once again and are determined to compete at the top end of the Premier League table. That same ambition has been evident in the transfer market, as they became the highest-spending team in the league during the first half of the window earlier last month. High hopes for Roberto De Zerbi’s high-flying Tottenham Anything less than a top-half finish in the Premier League would be considered a failure for Spurs this season. With the club spending approximately £250m on new arrivals this summer, the onus falls on Roberto de Zerbi to get the best out of his squad and deliver positive results more often than not. There is no room for error, and the Lilywhites cannot afford to underdeliver as they kickstart a new era at N17 under the Italian tactician. With no European football to play this season, Spurs will have an opportunity to go all-in across domestic competitions under Roberto de Zerbi. There is enough depth in the squad to compete on all three fronts and aim for a domestic trophy at the end of the current campaign. Not only that, but the North Londoners will also have a chance to go toe-to-toe with their rivals if they play with a positive mindset in the coming months. Opta’s Supercomputer (via Spurs Global) has now predicted the club’s chances of finishing in the top five spots in the Premier League this season. As per the supercomputer, the Lilywhites have a 24.1% chance of securing Champions League football by the end of the season. Having a top manager and signing Premier League-proven players this summer has given the North Londoners an opportunity to improve on last season and make significant progress in the coming months. Spurs kick off their campaign against Brentford in the Premier League this weekend. They travel to the Gtech Stadium in search of all three points and a chance to get the season off to a positive start. The Spurs faithful will hope that Roberto de Zerbi gets his players up and running for the season ahead and that their side plays high-intensity, attacking football against Keith Andrews’ men.
