We are happy because we stay up and we forget the past. Actually, no! Stupid people forget the past. The smart people, the people with value, can’t forget and keep in their mind the past. We have to improve from our mistakes. And we are looking forward to start to rebuild a team from this night, from tomorrow. We have no time to go on holiday.“Will we be stronger for this? If we remember this day, for sure. Next season, we have to keep in our mind [what has happened], to give our best in every training session. If we remember this it will be easier.”READ MORE: De Zerbi heaps shock praise on Tottenham man who has not started a single game under himThe post Roberto De Zerbi says he may have just achieved a huge career-best at Tottenham appeared first on Spurs Web.
