Roberto De Zerbi was quick to turn his attention to Sunday after his side failed to secure their Premier League survival against Chelsea.
Tottenham came into the game needing only a draw to effectively secure their place in England's top flight for another season, however, goals from Enzo Fernández and Andrey Santos were enough to sink their hopes.
It all now comes down to the final game of the season when the North London side host Everton as they look to end their disappointing season on a high.
Focus shifts to Everton finale
"Now we have to prepare ourselves in the best way to play a final," said De Zerbi.
"Because the true final is not against Manchester United last season, the true final is this Sunday.
"And I would like it to be clear for everyone because Sunday we play for something more than a trophy.
"We play for our pride, our dignity, the history of the club.
"Every one of us will give our best."
Frustration at Stamford Bridge
The Italian coach was also critical of his side's performance at Stamford Bridge, expressing frustration with the manner in which they conceded both goals.
"I think we played a good game, not enough to win," said the Tottenham boss.
"We made too many mistakes in the last third of the pitch and we conceded two goals in a stupid way.
"The first goal from 30 metres from Enzo Fernández, and the second goal we conceded, we lost another stupid ball when we were in total control.
"In the last 20 minutes I think we played with more energy, more passion, and I want to see more of that behaviour.
"Through this very difficult moment, difficult period, difficult days, if we stay strong, we can become better.
"Better as a coach, better as players and better as a people. But we have to stay together, strong, focus on the game and play with personality and with courage."
