In the Carabao Cup third round, Tottenham Hotspur lost to Liverpool 3-1 away. After the match, Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi gave an interview to ITV Sport.

Is a 3-1 scoreline too harsh on your team?

No, the result is difficult to accept, but I think we were genuinely unlucky because I've won games where we played much worse than today, created fewer chances than today, and faced greater pressure than today.

But ultimately, we have to accept that we're disappointed with this result. We need a turning point. I told the players we need a turning point, and we have to find it. We have to work hard to achieve it, because if we find this turning point, win games, score goals, and create chances, we will win many matches.

What is this turning point? Is it a matter of mentality or confidence?

The turning point is winning a game like this one. Because before, we had clear chances to score after going behind, and we still had good opportunities against the goalkeeper.

But I was very pleased with the individual performances of some players, including Bergvall, Tsosin, Marmush, Kudus, and Matheus Fernandes, who came on as a substitute. I think there are many positive aspects here.

After you scored, many aspects seemed to show a completely new Tottenham.

Yes, yes. But I love my players, both as people and as footballers. I like them a lot. I think they're being too emotionally sensitive right now. They're under pressure because of the results, but we have to be stronger than the results, stronger than the situation we're facing. Because if we find this turning point, win games, score goals, and create chances, I think everything will change.

So did tonight's performance give you more hope? Despite losing, do you still feel more positive?

Listen, I'm not being positive or negative. I want to remain truthful. I want to be honest with you, with myself, and with myself. If the players can create chances like today, if they can play with this courage and attitude, it's clear we still need to improve in many areas.
