Tottenham's 1-1 draw with Leeds has left Roberto De Zerbi fuming, and for good reason. The Italian manager's temper boiled over as his team's self-destruct button was pressed, resulting in a missed opportunity to open up a significant four-point advantage over West Ham United in the Premier League. De Zerbi's frustration was palpable, and it's easy to see why. After a relatively low-key start to his tenure at Spurs, De Zerbi's team had been on a roll, securing vital wins away at Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa. However, against Leeds, they played a good game but didn't play a great one, and it cost them. The Italian's combustible temperament bubbled to the surface, and he was not afraid to show his disgust at slow play from his team in the first half, incurring the wrath of referee Jarred Gillett in the process. De Zerbi's frustration was further exacerbated by the Video Assistant Referee's decision to confirm a penalty, which he believed his team deserved to win. Despite the draw, De Zerbi remained positive, praising his players' spirit and mentality. However, the reality is that Tottenham's battle to avoid an embarrassing drop into the Championship now looks like it could go to the final day of this turbulent, chaotic season. The door to survival opened wider when West Ham lost to Arsenal, but it suddenly closed again as Spurs missed the chance to extend their lead. The pressure of their situation may have had an impact on their performance, and De Zerbi knows that they will have to reverse a worrying trend if they are to stay in the Premier League. The Italian manager's task is now to keep his team's heads up and their spirits high as they prepare for their final two games of the season. The next few days will be crucial, and De Zerbi will need to find a way to keep his team focused and motivated. In my opinion, Tottenham's draw with Leeds is a wake-up call for De Zerbi and his players. It's a reminder that they are in a fight for their lives, and they need to step up their game if they are to avoid an embarrassing drop into the Championship. The Italian manager's temper may have bubbled over, but it's time for him to channel that frustration into a renewed focus and determination to keep Tottenham in the Premier League. The final two games of the season will be crucial, and De Zerbi will need to find a way to keep his team's heads up and their spirits high. Only then can they hope to avoid an embarrassing drop into the Championship.
