The amazing observation of Roberto de Zerbi after the slap received against Monaco

Present at a press conference after the rout of his own (0-3) against AS Monaco on the 29th day of Ligue 1, Roberto de Zerbi was necessarily frustrated. However, faced with journalists, the Italian technician has retained a certain optimism. “It is a difficult match to analyze because in the first half we played very well. We played better than them. We did not take any risk. We had the opportunity to score. The first goal is stupid, we are not supposed to take it. It happens too often. I don't think the 3-0 is right. In the second half, they managed to manage. I have always said my truth, we are always alive and present to fight. We have great possibilities to qualify in the Champions League. This week, the team trained well. There is nothing to say to the players. When this is the case, I say, sometimes in a strong way. They played well, I'm sorry for the players. They had prepared the match well. Sorry also for people from Marseille. But I remain optimistic, more than after certain defeats and even certain victories that we had this season “.

And add: “There is always concern but I am optimistic when I see our first half. Garcia brought more speed than Cornelius. We think of solutions with the staff but the change can do more harm than not to change anything. Balerdi is super important for us, I hope he will come back quickly. We have to roll up our sleeves, work more, win against Montpellier. The other teams have direct confrontations. It will be the last to fall that will go to the Champions League, the team that wants the most. I know my players absolutely want it. If you have to be hard and have strong words I do it. We have to play and do our best ”. The message has passed!
