Spurs captain Hugo Lloris has said that the club need to focus on winning trophies rather than talking about them
Speaking to The Sun ahead of Tottenham’s crucial Premier League fixture against Manchester City, the French international admitted that the club are aware of the pressure to win silverware and it is an ambition of everyone the club to bring trophies to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs are yet to win silverware this decade, with their last honour coming in the form of the League Cup in 2008 against Chelsea, where the north London side won 2-1 in extra-time.
Lloris said: “It is the ambition of the board, the manager, the coaching staff and the players. So we don’t need to add any more words about this. The belief is even stronger than before. But it is one thing to say things to the media, it is another thing, to tell the truth inside the changing rooms.
“That is the most important thing, to speak the real truths between ourselves. Then we need to show what we are saying on the pitch.”
The goalkeeper also spoke about how important it is for Spurs to build upon their success from last season following a year where Mauricio Pochettino’s side yet again finished in the Premier League top-four as well as make it to the Champions League final, losing to Liverpool in Madrid.
Lloris said: “After a season like last one the most difficult thing is to keep the same level. So if you can increase it even a bit, there is a chance to create an opportunity such as reaching the final of the Champions League as we did a few months ago.
“But there is no secret about how you get there. It is about work, it is about mentality, it is about personality.”
