Tottenham Hotspur interim head coach Igor Tudor is 100% confident the club would avoid relegation after a poor run of form, Afrosport reports.
The North London side currently occupy 16th place on the table and are are five points shy of the drop zone. It led to the dismissal of Thomas Frank with Tudor appointed until the end of the season to salvage the situation.
The Croatian’s first task at moving further away from danger is against fierce North London rivals on Sunday.
When asked if Tottenham would secure their survival status, he said: “100%!. This [relegation battle] is not important. Fighting for every position, relegation, first position, UEFA places – you achieve the position because of what you do during the week and on Sunday.
“It is a consequence of this. It brings you nothing if you think about relegation. All these goals are far away, I never give them importance.”
He added: “Five points (from the relegation zone), 10, two – it is the same. We need to be focused. Let’s focus on this and see what we can attain. Looking down or up brings you nothing,” he said.
“The players want to have clarity about what we want. This was the goal. To send a message about values and how we want to play.
“It is not about systems. It is important to become a team, a group, who will look after each other. For me, this is basic. After that the quality can come out and for me this is a team with quality, with legs that can run. There is potential.”
The North London Derby is up next 👊
