ZERO GOALS, HUGE FRUSTRATION: DE ZERBI'S NIGHTMARE

Starting the new season in the English Premier League with high hopes and lofty goals, Tottenham Hotspur has set a nightmarish, historical record rarely seen on the football pitches. The North London representative failed to find the back of the net even once in the first four weeks of the league, marking one of the most barren and worst season starts in the club's history. This incredible collapse on the pitch and the massive crisis in the attacking line have caused the arrows of criticism to point directly at manager Roberto De Zerbi. The Italian manager had sat down with the club's board with great expectations last March, signing a massive five-year contract worth an astronomical salary of 12 million pounds per year. However, this signature, which was announced with great enthusiasm at the time, has now turned into a complete frustration for Tottenham fans. The fact that De Zerbi, who is known for his attacking football philosophy and was brought in with this expectation, could not get his team to score a single goal in four matches has resonated widely in the British press. As the media and fans question why this huge budget project is not reflecting on the pitch, the pressure on the Italian coach is increasing by the minute. This zero-goal statistic, received in return for an investment of millions of pounds, has caused crisis bells to ring loudly within the club. If De Zerbi cannot quickly solve this attacking deadlock, his future in London will be highly debated.
