Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino wants his side to bounce back from one of their toughest moments.
Spurs suffered an embarrassing 7-2 defeat in the Champions League group stages against Bayern Munich at home.
Last season's finalists were dealt a harsh lesson by the clinical German champions. And Pochettino says they must recover like men.
When asked if it was one of his toughest challenges to bounce back from such a result, he told reporters: "But I told you many weeks, months ago that it was going to be a tough season.
"For me after the Champions League final it was a chapter closed and now the club is in a period that it needs to open another chapter and design a project for the medium and long term. It's like I always told you, not because of this defeat is going to change my opinion.
"This type of situation happens and you need to show your quality like a man first, before facing it like a professional, because this type of situation is when you need to put your quality and how you are strong like a person to face this type of situation then afterwards comes the professional side.
"But now we need to be men and face this problem and stand all together and bounce back and change those feelings."
