De Zerbi: I Want My Players to Play Bravely and Confidently at Stamford Bridge and Win All Three Points

Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi spoke ahead of his team's visit to Stamford Bridge tomorrow to face Chelsea. The Spurs need just one point from their remaining two matches to secure their Premier League status, holding a significant goal difference advantage over West Ham. However, De Zerbi insists his team should play for all three points at Stamford Bridge, not just a draw.

"Vicario is available, but I will decide tomorrow whether he plays. Solanke is still not well enough. He still feels something, and I don't want to take a risk for this match. I hope he can participate in a part of the game on Sunday."

James Maddison couldn't train at the beginning of the week due to a minor issue. But yesterday and today, he performed very well. He is a special player. At the moment, he's not ready to play 90 minutes. I want to speak with him tomorrow morning and make the best decision we can."

"My players must be ready to play a good game at Stamford Bridge, to play with courage and pride, to work hard on the pitch, and to try and take all three points. We need to maintain balance. It's very tough at Stamford Bridge. They played three days ago and performed very well. Perhaps they didn't deserve to lose. I know many of their players. Their style is clear. It will be a difficult match for us."

"We need to play with confidence because we've taken eight points from the last four matches. If we analyze our performance, we could have even taken more points. We must draw confidence from that. We cannot forget what the situation was a month ago. We are not safe yet. Every point is hard-earned, every team is tough to beat. We need to show our quality and the right spirit. I want to see courage on the pitch and for us to try and win the match."

"Our job isn't done. We need to get one more point to secure safety, and to get a point in the Premier League, you have to fight and play very well," De Zerbi stated during his press conference today.

When asked if Cristian Romero would remain at the club next season, the Italian responded: "That's a good question, but it's asked at the wrong time. Firstly, the focus is now on Chelsea. Secondly, Romero is a great player."

"The most important thing is the player's attitude and how much he wants to stay at this club. We need to make a decision after this season, after the match against Everton."
