Moore said he learned a lot from De Zerbi, emphasizing the importance of preventing players from becoming complacent on the field.


Tottenham Hotspur defeated Bundesliga side Hoffenheim 3-0 in a friendly match, thanks to a goal from Richarlison and a brace from Moore. The 19-year-old Moore stated that De Zerbi is a strict manager who doesn't tolerate any slackness from his players on the field.


In the 35th minute, Richarlison received a cross from Robertson and slotted the ball into the net, giving Tottenham Hotspur a 1-0 lead. In the 59th minute of the second half, Matisse Ter broke through the defense and crossed the ball, which Moore received and scored, extending Tottenham Hotspur's lead to 2-0.


In the 79th minute, Matthias Ter once again assisted Moore to score. Ultimately, Tottenham Hotspur defeated Hoffenheim 3-0 in this friendly match.


Tottenham winger Moore said, "It feels really great to be back in this incredible stadium and play with my teammates again, and I'm very happy to have scored two goals. This is the first time in my career that I've scored twice, and although it's just preseason, it feels really good."


"The process of regaining my rhythm has been great. We've all had a relatively long break, and now my physical condition is starting to improve, as is my technical condition. I feel like I'm getting back into form, and my performance is much better than before. I think I played pretty well, and I hope to continue to improve."


Furthermore, when discussing head coach De Zerbi, Moore shared, "His training intensity is very high, all his ideas are very clear, and he makes sure that everyone understands his requirements. Whether with or without the ball, he doesn't give the players any room to relax, and he will never allow the players to have even a second of slack when handling the ball."


“I learned a lot from that. I know I can’t be careless when I first touch the ball. There was probably a similar situation in the first half of this game, and he would point it out directly. So he would tell me directly that it wasn’t good enough, and I think he was right. You can’t get away with anything under him; he’s really outstanding.”
