De Zerbi ignites for Rulli
« Yes, I think I have a great goalkeeper, a great man, a great leader, and we are really lucky to have him (…) It’s especially happiness for my players. I want them to express their qualities. I felt the responsibility of not being able to help them achieve 100%. I get attached to my players. I am not objective when I talk about them, I am more optimistic and positive, but it saddened me to see them at 30 or 20% of their capacities », blurted out the coach of theABOUT at a press conference, before rejoicing that theABOUT finally conquered the curse of Velodrome.
“I think I have a great goalkeeper, a great man, a great leader”
« I hope this is the start of an important story at the Vélodrome. I think a lot of people come here for that, not just me. It was a shame that we couldn't express ourselves to the fullest here. There was a mental block, I think, which meant that the players were not always serene and lucid, with anxiety, a fear of making mistakes, which made the game difficult. We saw it against PSG, Auxerre, Angers, even against Nice and the 2nd half against Reims. It's hard to explain, but I think we weren't ourselves. But this evening, even if there were some mistakes and things to improve, I saw my players. The players I have been training since July 6, who have demonstrated what we work on every day in training, who have played with courage, with organization at the level of the game, always fighting, also trying things , with high pressing. Tonight I saw the team I coach », added Roberto DeZerbi.
