Pedro Porro has lent his support to Igor Tudor in the Tottenham dugout.

The side suffered a 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace in the Premier League, slipping within one point of the relegation zone, and the Spanish defender received attention for his reaction to his substitution.

However, Porro gave no indication that he is not behind the new man on the sidelines. A unified front is key for the club at the end of this campaign as the drop zone looms larger than ever.

“Since I found out [Igor] was coming to the club, I knew he was going to be a manager that would help us a lot. All the players know that we need to be on the right path with him. We know that he's only in for three weeks now and he just needs to learn everything about us, and the other way around. We're on the right path.

"I just want to make it clear, [my anger] was not about the manager. I am a player who gives it all on the pitch, 200%, and we never like losing, it's just about that. So, to end all the speculation that he was about the manager. We've never seen ourselves in this situation. So, it was just my reaction.

“[The last few months] have not been easy because of everything we've gone through. I had a minor injury a few weeks ago, and I just need to be ready. I could tell you, they have been tough times, but this does not affect my mindset and my teammates' mindset. We always want to do our best.

“The past few weeks have not gone our way, have not gone the way we expected. We just need to keep going until the end and do things as well as possible.

"This is a tough situation. The important thing, now that we are here, is to focus on tomorrow's game, and this is what matters."
