Hugo Lloris has called on Tottenham players to "increase the mental aspect" as they aim for a very successful campaign in north London. Victorious at the weekend with a convincing 4-1 victory over Southampton, Antonio Conte's men sit top of the Premier League after the first round of games.
The Lilywhites were in complete control against the south coast club and perhaps should have won by more given the amount of openings they created over the 90 minutes. Starting the season with a win for the second year on the trot, Lloris believes Spurs have made big improvements during Conte's tenure but now it's about reducing the gap with the Premier League's best and also Europe's best in the Champions League.
"Yeah but last season we started with three wins and three clean sheets. But with different feelings," said the World Cup winner. "I believe the work we've done the last eight months plus pre-season is giving us on the physical aspect and the tactical aspect a lot of guidance and a reference point.
