Ledley King backs De Zerbi, saying bottom Spurs only lack confidence
Post
๐ฐ Spurs legend Ledley King has backed De Zerbi's bottom-placed side, insisting one win can change everything.
๐ Key points
๐๏ธ King backed De Zerbi at a club Hall of Fame event.
๐ง He said Spurs' main problem is confidence.
๐ He believes the first win can turn things around quickly.
๐ช He urged the players to draw on how they came through last season.
๐ Spurs are bottom with 2 points and 2 goals from 5 games.
๐ What happened
๐๏ธ Ledley King was asked about the team's form at a Hall of Fame event at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. "It's just a confidence thing. These are top players. I'm sure once the first positive result goes for the team, things can turn around very quickly," he said.
๐ช King pointed out that the squad had come through difficult spells last season and should lean on that experience. There is no easy way, he added, stressing consistent work in training and self-belief.
๐ Under De Zerbi, Spurs have two draws and three defeats from their first five league games, leaving them 20th with two points. They have scored only twice.
๐ By the numbers
โข League record: 5 games, 2 draws, 3 defeats, 2 points
โข Goals scored in 5 games: 2
โข Current position: 20th
๐ญ Why it matters
After the club's CEO expressed faith in De Zerbi, a club legend has now added his voice, reinforcing the mood of patience over an immediate change. Ultimately, though, results will have to follow.
Spurs return from the international break at Old Trafford on 10 October, in a meeting between two sides under pressure.
