On the eve of the reception of Auxerre in Ligue 1, Pol Lirola was present at a press conference. The opportunity for him to praise Roberto De Zerbi: “From Zerbi, one of his best qualities is that he finds a way to put his players in the best conditions. I spent my best year with him (in Italy). As soon as I saw him at Sassuolo, I knew he was going to have a great career. De Zerbi likes to have players who ask for the ball and who don't hide. That the full-back goes inside is important and we do what he asks us. De Zerbi asked us to be calm, to have the ball, we should have it against Auxerre. For the full-backs, the coach asks us to attack then defend and repeat this. He likes his team to attack in numbers” he explained in comments reported by La Provence.
Lirola has had two complicated years!
The Spaniard subsequently returned to his complicated last years: “These last two years have been complicated, I have had both physical and confidence problems. They allowed me to grow, to find myself and when I saw that De Zerbi was coming I did everything to fight and stay here. I have improved in several aspects and I hope to continue. I hope to improve my physical condition also to continue the matches” he explained before returning to his match against OL where he scored: “We play to achieve this type of performance, it's a match that will stay in my memory, it helps a lot with confidence. When we go through bad times we sometimes stop believing in ourselves but there are injections that remind us of what we are capable of doing. I hope to be able to repeat this performance during this season.”
Finally, he concluded on the difficulties at the Vélodrome: “Maybe it's because we have a new team, with players who are not used to playing under the pressure of the Vélodrome. We have to play liberated as the coach often tells us. After this defeat against PSG, the week was difficult, there was a complicated atmosphere, it was a defeat like no other, in front of our public but especially given the manner. We want to have a big match against Auxerre to give back to the supporters what they lost against Paris.”
