[Saba Sports News] Recently, Marseille’s head coach Roberto De Zerbi talked about the leak of internal team information and rumors of internal strife during a pre-match press conference. De Zerbi said: “We must try to break the routine. After the matches against Reims and Auxerre, because the team did not perform well, I once called the players for training at 5 am for three consecutive days. This is not a punishment. I know how to coach a team, I know when to hug the players, and when to act more like a father. I am not worried, I am willing to do anything for my job. Marseille can have a better coach, but I am not sure if they are ready to give everything.” Additionally, De Zerbi frankly stated that he knows these things will definitely be reported, and he knows who told you, but he will not say it. He can work in a traditional way, without taking any risks, but he is willing to expose himself and take risks. It is reported that after the incident, De Zerbi’s mother even called him, asking what happened, saying he sounded like a criminal.
