Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg says the passing of fitness coach Gian Piero Ventrone will drive their season.
Discussing the Tottenham dressing room, the Dane has stressed that he is now "even more eager to be successful".
"The week and the moment has been very emotional. It's devastating, it's sad, it's unfair - all the words you could use," said Hojbjerg in the club's official matchday programme for their Champions League defeat of Eintracht Frankfurt. "Gian Piero was a great man for everyone, and we are immensely sad.
"When we did running drills, he would often say when everyone would be very tired, maybe on the limit, he would say 'now the work starts' or actually, in his words, 'work starts now! He would be right next to us while pushing us to the limit and motivating us. That showed a lot, that your limit is further than you first believe, than you first think and that is something the team has taken on board.
"I would like to add that l am very proud to share a dressing room with these players and men. l am just so proud, which makes me even more eager to be successful.
"We will honour Gian Piero's work by trying to give our best every day and by continuing his work now and also for the future. I think that is the best way to honour him. And also, to his family, I send a lot of emotions and thoughts in this moment!"
