Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi said the club can win all five [1] of its remaining Premier League games to avoid relegation.
The statement comes as the club faces a critical survival battle after a prolonged winless run. A failure to secure these points would result in the team dropping out of the top flight of English football.
De Zerbi said this following a 2-2 draw [4] with Brighton on Saturday, April 18, 2026 [3]. The match remained tense until the final moments, with Brighton scoring an equalizer in the 95th minute [3].
Addressing the squad's morale, De Zerbi said the team is capable of a perfect finish to the season. He said any players who are unhappy would be turned away from the training ground [2].
The manager's hardline approach is intended to motivate the squad and eliminate negativity within the locker room. This disciplinary measure follows a period of inconsistent form that has left the club fighting for its Premier League status [5].
Tottenham now enters the final stretch of the season needing maximum points from their remaining five [1] fixtures. De Zerbi said a single win could change the trajectory of the campaign [5].
“Tottenham can win all five of their remaining Premier League games to avoid relegation”
This ultimatum suggests a breakdown in squad harmony or a lack of confidence among the players. By threatening to exclude unhappy athletes from training, De Zerbi is attempting to prioritize psychological resilience and collective discipline over individual grievances to secure the club's financial and competitive future in the Premier League.
