We all know the scenario as we head to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for MW38 of the 2025/26 Premier League season - we’re two points ahead of West Ham in 17th, with a plus-12 goal difference over the Hammers. West Ham are also at home and host Leeds at the London Stadium.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference at Hotspur Way on Friday, Roberto said: “In football, there are different games. There are these type of games, like a final. For us, for West Ham, it will be two finals, and we have to adapt and we have to change the habits.
“I think it's a great thing to have the chance to play as a player. If I think as a player, for me, these types of games are good to play, to prepare, to suffer the pressure.
“The pressure is good. It depends if you are able to think, to stay strong, first of all, to stay positive. I think you can become, as I said after the Chelsea game, you can become better as a coach, as a player, as a man, because you can become better going through the tough moments. If everything is good in life, you can improve, but not in this way.”
