During an interview given to 1899 The WeeklyRoberto De Zerbi commented on his relationship with Pep Guardiola. The Italian is rave: “For me, he’s the best since I’ve been watching football. Before, I can’t say. But I’m not the only one to say or think it. At Barcelona, at Bayern, at Manchester City, in three different championships, in addition to winning, he put in place a football which, I think, exalted and stunned everyone.confided the Phocaean.
“There will never be any competition between him and me”
The OM coach has not forgotten how the Catalan opened the door to his office for him: “I went to see him in 2012 when I hadn’t started coaching yet. Above all, I cannot forget the way he treated me, respected me. He opened his office to me when I was nobody”he confided. And to add: “The respect I have for him goes well beyond his qualities as a coach. Even if I wanted to win Brighton-Manchester City, there will never be a competition between him and me, I will always see him differently than another coach. Has he seen OM play this season? (Smile) We talk to each other. »
Let’s hope that the Phocaean club will soon return to the Champions League to meet teams like that of the Spaniard. But before thinking about Europe, we must succeed in establishing ourselves in France, where OM is currently experiencing some difficulties.
