If I&#8217;m honest, I think we played better in other games, for example at Old Trafford,&#8221; De Zerbi told the Premier League website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It was important to get this result. When you play a team like Coventry, you can&#8217;t see the difficult situation, but if you make a mistake then you see a counter-attack.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>De Zerbi also praised James Maddison for his spectacular goal, highlighting the midfielder&#8217;s unique qualities and importance to the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Maddison scored a great goal and that is important, he is a different player,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spurs boss revealed that Dejan Kulusevski received a special reception in the dressing room after the match, describing the moment as significant for both the player and the club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;And we celebrated Kulusevski in the dressing room at the end of the game. It is a great thing for us and the player.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.besoccer.com\/match\/tottenham-hotspur-fc\/coventry-city\/202710797\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has expressed his delight after his side secured a much-needed Premier League victory<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2261,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2260"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2260\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2262,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2260\/revisions\/2262"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2261"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mktynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
