« I didn't like the way he played tonight. I think he was having a bad day. He gave us a lot of goals and points but when you are at OM, if you want to fight for the championship, you have to push in every match. We can't say to ourselves that we're having a good performance by scoring two goals and then having a slump in the next match. This is not possible. He's a good player but I expected more from him tonight. But not only from him. I always expect more in general “, declared Roberto DeZerbiin comments relayed by RMC Sport.
