BREAKING: Roberto De Zerbi Sends Strong Message to Young Tottenham Players Over Social Media
Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi has advised young footballers to stay away from social media and concentrate fully on developing their football careers.
The Italian tactician believes that spending too much time on social media can distract young players from their responsibilities and negatively affect their development.
Speaking about the challenges of keeping young talents focused in modern football, De Zerbi made it clear that upcoming players should consider deleting their social media accounts and dedicate more time to improving their game.
According to the Spurs manager, young footballers should concentrate on their personal development, work hard, learn from experienced teammates and remain committed to their careers.
De Zerbi Warns About Social Media Pressure
De Zerbi also expressed concern about how quickly public opinion changes on social media.
He explained that a player can receive widespread praise after an impressive performance but become the target of criticism following a disappointing display.
The Tottenham boss believes this constant change in public perception is unhealthy, particularly for young players who are still developing mentally and professionally.
He stressed that young footballers need to remain mentally strong and have a supportive family around them to help them stay grounded and avoid losing focus.
Tottenham’s Young Talents in Focus
De Zerbi’s comments come as Tottenham continue to develop promising young players, including Lucas Bergvall and Luca Williams-Barnett.
The 18-year-old Williams-Barnett recently made his Premier League debut against Crystal Palace and impressed during his brief appearance.
The manager’s message highlights his desire to create an environment where young players prioritise hard work, discipline and football development rather than online attention.
De Zerbi also made it clear that he enjoys working with young talents, established stars and players with the potential to become top-level footballers.
For the Tottenham manager, the most important thing is ensuring that emerging talents remain focused on their careers and continue working towards reaching their full potential.
