Tottenham have enjoyed a miserable start to their Premier League campaign with defeats to Middlesbrough and Sunderland ensuring they have yet to secure a point so far.
Next up is a trip to Stamford Bridge against an unbeaten Chelsea side who have two wins from two. Speaking before the match, Ramos admitted his side were desperate for points and that he was hoping the trip to Chelsea would inspire his players.
The Tottenham manager told Spurs TV Online: “The players are very aware of the fact that we need to get some points on the board, Chelsea coming at this time is a great fixture for us to lift the spirits.”
However, Chelsea’s home record is nothing short of formidable and the Blues have not lost at Stamford Bridge in the league since February 2004, when they were beaten by Arsenal.
Yet Ramos, revealed he was hoping he side could raise their game against Big Phil Scolari’s side. He said: “You know you are playing against one of the top sides in the league and that spurs you on.”
The last time the sides met in the league they shared a pulsating 4-4 draw at White Hart Lane and the Spurs boss admitted that if his side wanted to win the match they would need to play attacking football and not try to defend.
“If you go there and try to put everyone behind the ball and defend that it is likely to end in defeat,” explained the Spaniard before concluding, “The important thing is to go there and play attacking, ambitious football.”
