“When he doesn’t have what he wants, he can spiral”

He is expected to make his third appearance in Roberto De Zerbi's starting XI in on Sunday, according to several sources. Graham Potter, who worked with him for several seasons at Brighton, spoke about the mentality of his former player.

« He has this ability to harass the opposing defense. He presses, talks, loves doing the dirty work. Neal has always had a big heart and great stamina, but he managed to adapt to the Premier League from his first season, when he had to go faster, be harder, do deep runs in certain sequences , bring the team block up to others by winning duels against the opposing hinge. He is fundamentally a good person, very thoughtful off the field, who wants to learn. But on the pitch, he is such a fighter that emotionally, when he doesn't have what he wants, he can spiral. It was up to him to recognize it and it was up to me to support him to get the best out of himself and help the team“, explained the English technician, still without a contract since his departure from Chelsea.
