Roberto De Zerbi attended a press conference this afternoon before the Phocaeans face Monaco this Sunday at the Vélodrome. The Italian technician notably shared the player he most resembles him.
The Marseillais regained confidence by winning against Lens at Bollaert last week. This victory allowed them to stay on the podium and above all not to be defeated by the Monegasques, currently second in the championship. This match is at stake and Roberto De Zerbi's players will have to put in an XXL performance if they want to win. The Marseillais have several strong forces such as Rabiot, Greenwood and especially Hojbjerg. The Dane would also be the copy and paste of Roberto De Zerbi.
His favorite?
“Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg? I see him very close to me in terms of character, his way of understanding leadership, the same for Adrien Rabiot. But Pierre-Emile Højbjerg is more like me. His importance is on a daily basis, in what he does for the club, with the staff. We are very lucky to have this player,” said the Italian technician. Hoping that this gives a little more comfort to the heart of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg who will have a hard time facing Zakaria tomorrow.
