Roberto De Zerbi is now at the helm after a disastrous Igor Tudor spell, with Tottenham forced into action after tasking the Croatian with replacing Thomas Frank.

Ahead of this weekend’s game against Brighton which Tottenham simply have to win, Udogie has shared what De Zerbi said to his players on day one.

Roberto De Zerbi conversation on day one explained

Udogie will hope to stay fit for the remainder of the season, with Tottenham staring at a perilous situation that needs resolving.

De Zerbi is a superb manager and did wonders with Brighton, making his maiden home game as Tottenham boss extra spicy.

Udogie has lifted the lid on what the boss said to his players on day one and it seems as though he’s confident the drop can be averted.

He told Sky Sports News: “He said from the first day, it’s really important we stay positive. We help each other on the pitch, outside the pitch.

“You have to build the right connection, and I think it’s the right way to end the season. You have six games to go, and it’s really important that every day we come with the right mindset, the right attitude, and just stay positive as much as we can.”

It’s great that De Zerbi has issued a bit of a rallying cry to the players in the early stages of his time at the club but actions speak louder than words at this stage.

Frank isn’t a bad manager and he was unable to get a tune out of a group of misfiring players before De Zerbi and there is no saying he will have any joy either.

All of the emphasis is now on the players to get the job done and the hope will be that a big three points can be obtained against Brighton on Saturday.
