‘Another manager wouldn’t have got the same results at Marseille than me’ – Roberto De Zerbi on mentality | OneFootball

Roberto De Zerbi approached his Marseille pre-match press conference ahead of the second Le Classique of the season with his habitual no-nonsense bluntness. Observers and supporters in the Phocéen City have been getting used to his straight-talking press conference remarks, much in the image of a city that values La Grinta – otherwise a ‘fighting spirit and self-belief’ in the sporting sense.Today was no different at Marseille’s press conference attended by Get French Football News. Roberto De Zerbi today said that he takes inspiration from Luis Enrique at Paris Saint-Germain, claiming the the Spaniard has, above all, elevated Les Parisiens’ mentality on the biggest stage. He went on claim that he wants to do the same at Marseille.

‘Another manager wouldn’t get the same results as me’ – De Zerbi bull-ish before Le Classique

“This is why the mental aspect of the game for me is so important,” said De Zerbi at the Stade Vélodrome before training in front of several supporter groups and the press. “I honestly don’t think that OM would have got the same results this season with another manager. I’m not saying that I’m better than other managers in terms of tactics, but one of my great qualities is to not just be happy with the good results, and always having the feeling of wanting more.”“This is also to be balanced when results aren’t as good, and ask more from the players. Our mentality at times comes in waves at the moment, and is something that we need to improve.” GFFN | George Boxall – Reporting from Marseille’s Stade Vélodrome.
