Roberto De Zerbi has sent a powerful reminder to his Tottenham squad: never forget where you came from. After back-to-back Premier League victories lifted Spurs out of the relegation zone, the manager is urging his players to stay grounded and remember the struggles that sparked their revival.

It was a dramatic turnaround for a side that hadn't won a league game in 2026 before last week. But back-to-back wins—first against Wolves and then a gritty 2-1 victory over Aston Villa—have breathed new life into the campaign. The win over Villa was especially significant, as it pushed Tottenham clear of the bottom three and gave fans reason to believe again.

"I'm honest, I have one face," De Zerbi said after the match. "If I say Kolo Muani, Gallagher, Palhinha, and all our players are great level, big level, it's because I feel it. I don't want to sell something if I don't believe in my words."

The Italian manager, known for his passionate and direct style, emphasized that his job is about more than tactics. "My work is just to transfer the confidence to believe in themselves and to try to be stronger than the defeats and the position in the table—stronger than the words of all of you."

But De Zerbi's message was clear: the hard work is only beginning. "The crucial thing now is keeping in our heads what the situation was before the Wolverhampton game. This is the memory most important to keep in our heads."

There was also a positive update on midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur, who was substituted during the game. "Bentancur is just tired," De Zerbi confirmed, easing fears of another injury setback for the key player.

For Spurs fans, these wins are a welcome sign of resilience. And for the players, the message is simple: stay humble, stay hungry, and never forget the fight that got them here.
