« I may have been touched, yes, but that’s ambition. Afterwards, I had a great time with Jean-Louis, he always came to see us in training and chat with us. It was the first time I saw a coach from the pro team who came to see the kids. And when he needed them, he took them. This season, De Zerbi is the same. But without a European Cup with a match per week, he has less need for young people. I understand it very well », Confided JPP.
