Marseille manager, Roberto De Zerbi has come out to share how the media reports surrounding internal unrest at the club has taken a personal toll. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he has definitely had a very difficult week with the media making him out to be some criminal or a delinquent, but he is still working towards getting the best out of his players on the pitch.
De Zerbi added that even his mother called him to ask about what he did to deserve such a treatment from the press.
His words, “I’ve had a very difficult week, like everyone else. I’m going to speak clearly about everything that has been said and written. I want to get the best out of my players and we’ve done some good things this year.
I always make my decisions for the club. The things that happened this week are normal things that happen everywhere else. Pablo and Mehdi supported me, the players, many of them, even those who don’t like to talk. They all came to talk to me, to tell me they were with me. Since Tuesday’s training, I have been observing, the coach can’t talk every day. But I do not accept that we do things below our maximum limit. With my extreme methods, I try to lead OM to our final objective. Some people make me out to be a criminal, it’s not fair, I am a good person.
My mum called me this morning and asked me: what did you do? Making out that I was a when I’m not.
At the club, they tell me I’m too nice. Mehdi Benatia, I’m united with him. I read that he had a mediating role? It annoyed me, I don’t have any players against me, it’s not true. I don’t want to be liked by everyone.”
WOW.
