The stats may be down, but Vicario is keen to keep his teammates' heads up.

The 2024-25 season is shaping up to be Tottenham Hotspur’s worst season in history.
With 38 points earned over 36 matches so far, they are sitting in 17th place in the Premier League table this season. 20 losses at this point puts them at a club record Premier League all time low - Tottenham hasn't seen results this poor in the top flight for more than a hundred years. The last time was way back in the 1912-13 season of the Football League First Division, which was the top tier English football league at the time (before the Premier League was founded in 1992).
Despite these numbers, Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has been reminding his team, in the middle of a difficult season, to accept the tough things and to deal with whatever comes at them as one unit, a family.
‘I think the most important thing, for us as a group, is to try to create history in a certain way and try to do it our way, especially on what we’ve tried to create over the last two seasons under Ange,’ he said.
‘But I think we tried every day, in every session, in every game to to deal with that as a big family, as a big unit, and sometimes we couldn’t cope with that, but the important thing now is we have a big, massive game ahead, and we’re looking forward to doing it as a family.’
The Italian Spurs shot stopper also reminds us that whatever happens in the English Premier League cannot take away their achievements in Europe. As Vicario says, ‘We have the opportunity now to play a final, and I don’t know how many times during a career this can happen.’
