Sergio Reguilon: ‘we have even more desire than fans to win a trophy’

It has been a long time since

won a trophy in 2008 when Jonathan Woodgate’s header helped them win the 2008 League Cup in the game against Chelsea.

Now Tottenham have their best chance to win a trophy as they only need to win three games, starting with a quarter-final against

on Wednesday.

Tottenham defender

Sergio Reguilon

has said that he has the intention of ending the trophy drought.

“I am very much aware of it,” he said. “You are aware of stuff on social media and how the fans are really keen to win a trophy.

“But believe me, if the fans are keen to win a trophy, we have even more desire as players and as a squad.”

Reguilon might be surprised when he gets to the bet365 Stadium as he has only played in Spain until his move to England.

He added: “From watching the Premier League, I am aware of their reputation and know what it is supposed to be like to play there from watching their games. That and playing against them on FIFA!

“I am the sort of player who is ready for every game I am selected for. I am a very competitive guy and I am a very competitive player as well.

“If the manager decides that he wants to use me in this particular match I will be ready just like every other game.

“I will jump for every aerial challenge and run to make every tackle and fight for every ball. Yes, I will be ready if selected.

“But the main thing about football is that if the pitch is fine, it does not matter if you are in top-notch luxury dressing rooms or average ones. What happens out on the field is what matters.

“The state of the dressing room will be put to one side once we cross that white line.”

Stoke City have conceded just three goals through their last seven games and although they are not the proposition they once were, they should not be underestimated.

However, Reguilon believes his side could win the match.

“We are a strong outfit both physically and mentally as well,” he said. “The thing about English football is that every game you play is a tough encounter.

“Obviously some teams are stronger than others, some line-ups. But it is all about Tottenham going into it with the right attitude and concentrating for the whole 90 minutes.

“If we do that with our quality of players – and that tough mental attitude that we have – we have got a good chance of getting through in those matches.”
