the terrible observation of Roberto De Zerbi on the defeat in Nice

Asked after his team’s defeat in Nice (2-0), Roberto De Zerbi declared: “We didn’t play well. We deserve to lose the match. We deserve defeat. It can happen. Ligue 1 is a difficult competition. Defeat can happen. Nice is a good team. A defeat like that can happen. We kept the ball, we turned it but not really at the right speed and not always with the right attitude. We conceded the first goal in a very bad way. We suffered too much. I have real consideration for my players. A defeat like that can be important.»

On the missed opportunity to return to Paris, he continues: “We lost but it’s not really the attitude, it’s the mentality where we should have been better. We should have attacked with more power with different behavior. If we analyze Ligue 1, Lille lost against Strasbourg, PSG lost two points, Lyon lost two points. We are having a very good season, not extraordinary, but a very good one. We have to keep pushing because the season is not over. I am very positive. We missed the opportunity to get closer to PSG, we missed the opportunity to take points against Monaco. You have to accept it. We have to start again on Tuesday stronger than today»
