Summary

We’re joined by coach to Premier League footballers, Harry Brooks, to break down what Roberto De Zerbi has already changed at Spurs, from the shift in mentality and confidence to the tactical details behind the win at Aston Villa. We talk about buy-in, accountability, composed aggression, pressing traps, risk, control, and why this version of Tottenham suddenly looks calmer, braver and far more connected.
