Following Tottenham's victory over Charlton Athletic in the League Cup second round, Tottenham defender Ben Davis gave an interview in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after scoring in the match.

Today is very different from Saturday. The team appears fully united. Some new players are integrating well. Notably, Savio, who came on as a substitute and scored, did so. However, he failed to score a second goal.
Yes, that's right. He has genuinely made an impact. From such high-level players, we expect them to come off the bench and show what they can do. He looks very threatening and very sharp. We hope to see more of this from him going forward.
When you told him that goal had been registered to you, how did he react?
(Laughs.) To be honest, I think he was a bit disappointed. But that's completely understandable. Either way, the ball touched me before it went in, so it's my goal.

Ben, you've been here a long time. There have been many changes during that period, but we've never seen eight new players brought in over such a short span before. How long do you think it will take for them to fully integrate?
Hopefully not long. It's something we're already working on. In modern football, player turnover happens frequently, and they need to adapt quickly. I think all the summer signings look very good. We look sharp, and I believe it's a clean, very professional performance.
Yes. What about you personally? Are you fully settled and comfortable in this position? The manager seems to trust you as a starter on occasion.
Yes, I'm very comfortable. I've played in this position many times during my playing career. Wherever I'm asked to play, I'll do my job. But I do enjoy playing here. It was my first official match at this stadium after recovering from a serious injury in January, and it's good to overcome those barriers.
Yes. I understand you now have your UEFA B and A coaching licenses. So you're also someone who studies the game closely. What has De Zerbi taught you? What's his style like? From a player's perspective, how is it different from what we see in the stands?
Yes, that's truly impressive. To be frank, being involved in daily training and watching him work is remarkable. It's not just about the tactical shapes we learn or how we want to play—you really need to understand it, and on the pitch, it becomes second nature. You'll see match situations you've never encountered before. He gives very clear instructions about what he demands from himself and what he expects from you, and that's incredibly motivating.
Fans are excited about this transfer window because so many talented new players have arrived. Should they be excited? Can they finally dream again after so many disappointing seasons?
Yes, absolutely. All the players we've brought in have raised the team to a very high level, and we're really looking forward to seeing what comes next.
As for Savio, Tottenham has many outstanding wingers and attacking players like Son Heung-min. But he looks ready, and he wants to be the new hero. That's good. Don't the fans want to see new heroes too?
You're putting him in a very high position. It's only one match. We're very excited about what we've seen so far. He's proven he's a top player, and we genuinely hope he can produce more performances like tonight in the future.
Regarding young players like Mikey Moore—he's only 19, but you've known him for about three years. Luca Williams-Barnett also played tonight. For young academy players like Mikey, how important is it that they get opportunities to play alongside their peers?
That's truly important. Academy players are the lifeblood of the club. These local kids matter. As you mentioned earlier, I coached them. I trained Luca when he was 16—he was part of my group. These kids dream of playing for this club, and everyone in the academy works hard to make that happen.
