De Zerbi's High-Risk Tactics to Save Spurs

Tottenham's new boss Roberto de Zerbi will implement his attacking, possession-based style as he looks to save the club from relegation with seven games remaining.

New Tottenham manager Roberto de Zerbi is known for his high-risk, high-reward style that requires technically skilled players. The Italian has a history of sticking to his footballing ideas despite previous mixed results, including a relegation with Benevento.

With seven games left to avoid relegation, De Zerbi has been seen coaching his new players on specific tactical patterns that involve drawing opponents toward defenders before using quick passing routines to find free players facing forward. His approach requires defenders to take responsibility with the ball and often uses psychological tactics to provoke opponents into pressing.
