I understand that for teams with much larger budgets, it isn't pleasant when a team like Getafe tries to beat them... But, as I always tell my players day in and day out: *esto es fútbol, papá* [this is football, man]! I am not a defensive coach; I’m surprised by that label I’ve been given. Johan Cruyff is my greatest reference, my childhood idol. All I do is demand maximum intensity from my players. It brings deep sadness and great uncertainty to start the season without knowing which squad you’ll have available until the transfer window closes. This completely alters the integrity of the competition for smaller teams. There are no ordinary matches for us. We approach every fixture with the utmost enthusiasm. I want to see my team always maintaining a winning mentality, regardless of who is on the other

The dressing room was in tears—total negativity. I told them: 'What are you doing? You play football for Tottenham, you earn a lot of money, you’re young, you’re healthy. What are you crying about? Tomorrow night, we’re going out for dinner.' [...] Alcohol can sometimes be a good remedy for team bonding. You need to enjoy life, but responsibly. I like to think I deserve to be here and that I deserve to demand top-tier players, because Tottenham now deserves to build a top-tier team. The words might not be explicit, but the facts are clear and on the table (slaps the table). Now we have to bring in elite players to become competitive. I view the trophy as the end of the journey. I can't manage the end of the journey; I manage the journey from start to finish. And right now isn't the time to think about trophies. The trophy comes if you’ve worked well during the journey, been the best version of yourself, and the players have performed to the best of their ability. I like Richarlison. He’s a good lad with a big personality. Sometimes he’s a bit conflicted—one day he says, 'I want to stay,' the next he says, 'I want to leave.' I need to talk to him. We really like him here.

Getafe's probable lineup for the match in the international friendly at the Hotspur Way Training Centre on Saturday: Soria; Femenía, Abqar, Romero, Davinchi; Uche, Martín, Terrats; López, Satriano, Mayoral.

Tottenham's probable lineup for the game in the international friendly at the Hotspur Way Training Centre: Kinsky; Gray, Van Hecke, Davies, Robertson; Bergvall, Tonali, Gallagher; Solomon, Tel, Richarlison.
