15-Second Brief
Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi addressed the 3-1 loss to Liverpool in the League Cup, insisting his team didn't deserve the defeat and highlighting the high level of performance from his players.

Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has reacted to his side's 3-1 defeat against Liverpool in the third round of the League Cup.

We created chances to win the match. We're not going through the best period right now, but I believe in my players, and just five minutes ago, I told them to stay calm.

What we need is a breakthrough moment. I'm not sure if we'll find that moment this Saturday, but if we play like this and believe in ourselves and our style, I think we'll win plenty of matches and score many goals because the quality of my players is very high.

There are a lot of positives. We are disappointed and frustrated with the results. I genuinely believe we didn't deserve to lose, but this is my first season and we’re building something completely different here.

I have faith in my players and in this project. I have no doubts. I believe in this team, but luck has just been evading us a bit lately. It’s not worth dwelling too much on the 'what ifs', but I thought we played very well tonight.

After four matches, Spurs find themselves struggling in 17th place in the Premier League table, with just two points to their name.
