Tottenham's Losing Mentality Persists Despite £400 Million Investment

London. Roberto De Zerbi may have the opportunity to spend around £400 million on rebuilding Tottenham Hotspur, but the first Premier League game of the new season has revealed a serious fact: spending a large sum of money does not automatically change a team's long-standing losing mentality.

De Zerbi's new Tottenham suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat against Brentford in their opening Premier League match, indicating that simply adding players will not solve the team's problems. The Italian coach De Zerbi stated in March, when he took charge of Tottenham, that his role was more psychological than that of a coach. He was tasked with saving the team from relegation from the Premier League in seven games. He completed that task, but under very difficult circumstances.
