Razek, a building painter, is more critical: ” The team seems poorly built to me, and De Zerbi has everything to prove. Brighton this season, with a younger coach, is doing better. He should calm down. “Jonathan, in the event, expresses his disappointment:” The match against Auxerre made me sick. “Jeff, member of the Winners, remains optimistic:” De Zerbi is a warrior. He is still looking for the right formula and has not yet fielded a typical team. I hope it lasts in the long term. “Between skepticism and hope, supporters now expect concrete results.
