Roberto De Zerbi reaction
On a cruel way to lose the game, with a deflection: "I think we played a good game. Not enough to win. We didn't deserve to lose the game but we have to accept," De Zerbi told Sky Sports. "We have to move on and to prepare the next game. Normally it is not the right Tottenham, no, because we played a good game but we are suffering in this moment. But we have to be stronger because we have the quality enough to come out from this difficult moment. I am sorry for the result, I am sorry for the Romero injury. I hope for us and for him as well it is not something important."
