Roberto De Zerbi remains confident that Tottenham’s goal‑scoring fortunes will improve, provided they continue to create chances consistently.Tottenham Hotspur’s struggles this season have not only been about a lack of wins, but also a shortage of goals. Spurs have managed just two goals in their opening five matches, a poor return that explains why they find themselves bottom of the table.

He was adamant it was nothing to worry about, provided Tottenham continued to create chances.Spurs currently rank sixth for touches inside the opposition box, with 150 – level with Brighton. Yet while the Seagulls sit third and have registered a similar number of touches, they’ve converted that into 16 goals this season.It is no surprise that De Zerbi believes the main concern is converting those opportunities. He said: “No, no. I think we created chance enough to score many other goals in these seven games. “I think even this improvement, I think we had the qualities to score more goals. Anyway, the most important thing is to bring the ball in the goal area. In the goal area we went many, many times.“We are fourth in the table, of the teams who bring the ball many times (into the final third). So it is nothing, but I think we arrived there, but we are not good enough so far to score goals when we have a clear chance.”De Zerbi using international break to sharpen Spurs attackThe September international break could not have come at a better time for De Zerbi, who has spent the last two weeks working with players not called up by their national teams.At least 14 Tottenham stars trained with the manager, focusing on improving several aspects of their play.The likes of Savio, Dominic Solanke and Mohammed Kudus were among those who stayed behind, and De Zerbi has addressed whether their lack of international involvement will affect team selection.He said: “They work very well and also Tosin Adarabioyo, also Marcos Senesi, Kudus, Savio, Dom Solanke, Conor Gallagher and Udogie as well. Yeah, I consider this part of work with me but I cannot forget the players [with the] national team. “We are just one Tottenham and nothing changes if one player went to national team or another worked with me. We have to consider the many games in a row for Robertson, van de Ven, Bentancur and the trip of Bentancur. The decision in the first XI is just for that.”READ MORE: Man United receive quadruple injury boost for Tottenham clash after Michael Carrick updateThe post Roberto De Zerbi hints three Tottenham players may be fatigued from international duty appeared first on Spurs Web.
