Roberto De Zerbi critical of Tottenham team after Brentford loss

Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi expressed dissatisfaction with his team's performance following a 3-0 defeat to Brentford on August 23. De Zerbi stated that despite the summer signings, including five debuts, the squad is 'not a team yet' and highlighted the poor physical condition of players Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Sandro Tonali. He acknowledged the club's recent spending but emphasized the need for improved cohesion and fitness to address these early-season challenges. Brentford’s Mamadou Sangare made a notable debut, contributing to the team's impressive start.
