Ex-Brighton manager, Roberto De Zerbi has come out to suggest that he is ready to leave Marseille. This is coming after yet another home defeat to Auxerre on Friday, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he does not know if it is a lack of courage or personality, but it is clear that his players are having lots of difficulties winning at home.
De Zerbi added that he takes responsibility for the latest home defeat, and if the problem continues to be him, he is ready to leave the club.
His words, “I have to take responsibility for this home defeat. We have difficulties at home, that’s clear. I don’t know if it’s a lack of courage or personality. I came here to play at the Velodrome because I wanted to live the experience. If the problem is me, I’m ready to leave. I’m leaving without the money, I don’t care about the rest. I don’t want to make excuses and talk nonsense. I’m not going to escape, we have to face reality. That’s what I have to do.
Playing at the Velodrome is a privilege. I have to transfer my passion for football to the players. At PSG, we played with ten men, it’s true. But what I saw with 11 against 11 did not please me. There are performances that are not good at home. Away, we have had good performances, in Toulouse, Montpellier, Nantes.
We can’t talk about this second place. I have to be able to give, to transmit something. I live for things that transcend football. I repeat, if I’m the problem, I have to leave. Money is nothing to me. It’s the gratification of the work that is important. I don’t have bad things to say about my players. If I leave, I leave my heart, my soul.”
WOW.
