“I even had doubts this evening whether to start him or not”
« I play the players who deserve it the most from my point of view. Tonight, with the absence of Elye Wahi and the fact that Neal Maupay, who is one of my favorite players, tonight was perhaps a little less lucid, it was still the third match in a row too that he was playing. I thought he deserved it. Robinio brings energy, he had a good match and he is a very strong player. Afterwards, it's certain that he's a boy from 2007, so we have to manage him as best as possible. But I had already said it, I am not afraid of letting young people play. I even had doubts this evening whether to start it or not », revealed Roberto DeZerbi at a press conference.
