Last season, Roberto de Zerbi had a particularly difficult start when taking the reins of Tottenham. After a 1-0 defeat to Sunderland in their first match, the dressing room appeared deeply scarred, with some players even in tears. This heavy period perfectly symbolized the precarious situation of Spurs, who finally ensured their maintenance in the Premier League on the last day. However, four months later, the transformation is striking. In the middle of pre-season training in Sydney, an emblematic city combining the Harbor Bridge and the Opera House, the atmosphere within the group has transformed with smiling players, deaf to the wounds of the past and ready to take on new challenges.

Tottenham had an impressive summer transfer window, with investment reaching an all-time high of £237 million. New recruits like Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke, Andrew Robertson and Martin Dubravka have already started to integrate during this trip to Australia and New Zealand. Only Marcos Senesi, who arrived after the World Cup and had benefited from a long period of rest, started training late.

Roberto de Zerbi is ambitious: "I deserve to want the best players, because Tottenham now deserve to build a top team." After a season where the club had prepared two plans - one in the event of a descent into the Championship and the other in the event of retention - the Italian coach now claims to be working fully on the second, that of renewal. He insists on the need to respect the wishes of players like captain Cristian Romero or goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, whose departures remain possible.

The club has also experienced a profound renewal in its bodies, with the arrival of the new general director Vinai Venkatesham and the technical director Johan Lange, the only historical member remaining from the previous organization chart. Supported by other recruits from the City Football Group, this management team and De Zerbi want to re-establish solid foundations, in particular by reducing injuries thanks to new performance director Dan Lewindon.

The coach, 100% involved in the transfer window, describes his commitment as that of a “shark”, insisting on his desire to obtain the targeted players. His personal involvement in recruitment is remarkable, as with Mateus Fernandes, for whom he even approached the family by promising to be a "second father" in Manchester.

While Tottenham beat Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City to sign their two star midfielders, De Zerbi suggests he is still preparing major offensives, notably to secure the services of attackers such as Savinho, transferred from Manchester City.

The coach is also keen to dispel any notion of reckless spending, recalling that these investments were necessary and comparable to those of other major English clubs. The club also sold certain players, like Luka Vuskovic to Brighton for 45 million pounds, with a view to financial balance and long-term projects.

The previous difficult moment against Sunderland has given way to a fierce desire to change the state of mind. De Zerbi says he introduced a lot of rigor, prohibiting any negativity in the club environment. The process of psychological reconstruction continues and the technician hopes that in the future, it will be the players themselves who will cultivate this new dynamic of kindness and performance.

Roberto de Zerbi knows that the road is still long but he firmly believes that Tottenham can return to the heights of English football thanks to this project combining ambitious recruitment, structural modernization and a united group in the dressing room.

The rest

With a record transfer window and a revitalized atmosphere, Tottenham is well positioned to approach the season with optimism. New signings, such as Sandro Tonali and Andrew Robertson, are expected to make a significant impact on the pitch. Spurs will now hope to capitalize on this momentum to climb the Premier League table and compete for trophies.
