"It Changed Without My Decision" | De Zerbi Press Conference

Was selling Will Lankshear a mistake? With the striker scoring eight in ten games for Middlesbrough, Roberto De Zerbi answers the question every Tottenham fan is asking — and drops the sharpest line yet on the Richarlison saga: the situation "changed in the last five days without my decision." In this embargoed press conference section he also reveals the YouTube video he made for Conor Gallagher — titled "Bossing the Midfield" — and why Gallagher is anything but underappreciated in his eyes.

De Zerbi goes deep on Sandro Tonali: why the adaptation has been slow, comparing it to his early Milan days, what his real role is, whether the £100m price tag weighs on him, and his verdict on why midfielders now command the biggest fees in football — "maybe the best question you asked me today." Plus his claim that Spurs have "maybe the best full-backs in the Premier League", why there's no mental block behind the goal drought, and his simple message for Bergvall.
