On Sunday, Tottenham will face a very important match in the English Premier League against Chelsea.

In case of a draw, the Spurs would virtually secure their survival in the Premier League, while a loss would mean that everything would be decided in the final round on Sunday.

Before the match against Chelsea, Tottenham's coach Roberto De Zerbi stated that the pressure on the team should provide extra motivation.

The pressure should give us extra motivation. If everyone wants us to drop out, that’s extra motivation for me. I hope my players feel the same way. We must understand that football is beautiful because of its rivalries.

We are facing a serious challenge, but in such cases, we need to be even more motivated and remain united.

We should be proud that everyone is waiting for our relegation, and at the same time, that should be our greatest motivation,” said R. De Zerbi.
