The international break may prove poorly timed for Tottenham and Roberto de Zerbi, according to our sources.
De Zerbi has inherited a squad requiring significant work to function as a cohesive unit. Reports suggest the upcoming pause in domestic fixtures disrupts the momentum and continuity the manager needs to implement his methods and build understanding amongst his players.
The timing compounds the challenge facing the Spurs boss as he continues his project at White Hart Lane. Rather than maintaining the training schedule and tactical development that comes with consecutive matches, the international commitments will scatter his squad and break the rhythm he’s attempting to establish.
De Zerbi will need to reassemble and readjust upon the players’ return from their respective nations, potentially setting back the progress made so far this season.
