Hugo Lloris has stated it is not the moment for Tottenham to throw away everything they have built in the past few weeks. Heading into Saturday's game against Brighton & Hove Albion in the final Champions League spot and with a three-point cushion over Arsenal, the Lilywhites lost 1-0 following a late Leandro Trossard winner.
Spurs were far from their best during the contest and failed to muster a single shot on target against the Seagulls. The defeat certainly hurt captain Lloris, with the Frenchman pointing to how much they have suffered in the past before turning things around under the guidance of Antonio Conte.
"What hurts me the most is, we have suffered so much, and to arrive in this position, it is not the moment to throw away what we have built in the last few weeks," said the World Cup winner. "We received a lot of kicks during the season and it is not the time to give this lift to our rivals. We have a week to prepare for the next game and I hope this defeat will help the team to finish stronger."
