De Zerbi says Spurs are now a complete side
De Zerbi said how his side has changed and become complete.
"Against Aston Villa and Everton, for 30 minutes we were playing very well. Maybe we didn't score because our finishing wasn't good enough, and perhaps in the first difficult moment we changed our mentality."
"Now we are a complete team. The players are playing better and we have improved our style," De Zerbi said.
