Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has said that several players can step up and become leaders for the remainder of the season. He recently had his say after captain Romero was ruled out for the season, and the fans have been reacting.
According to him, players like Micky van de Ven, Bentancur and Palhinha can take up leadership roles on and off the pitch because that is exactly what the club needs right now.
De Zerbi added that Spurs can only become a better team when leaders step up in tough moments.
His words, “There are a lot of different types of leader.
A leader who talks inside of the dressing room. A leader with the ball. A leader in tough moments.
A leader because he helps his team-mates. To be a stronger team we need many of those.
I would like Micky van de Ven to reach this level. [Rodrigo] Bentancur is a leader. Palhinha is another.
I would like to push with [Dominc] Solanke because he is one of the best strikers in the Premier League.
I want him to become stronger as a personality and a character on the pitch. Xavi Simons is very young, but is a leader on the ball because he has personality.
He has the right character to receive the ball when the ball is hot. But we need characters and personalities.”
WOW.
