De Zerbi thanks Guardiola and says he ‘helped’ Boateng to join Barcelona

Sassuolo manager Roberto De Zerbi spoke to La Gazzetta dello Sport about his career and his season with the Neroverdi so far: “I am feeling well here. I’m doing my job in the way I want it. I never have time to rest, football is all that I love and it comes before anything else. I’ve never wanted a good career or money. I also work on the defensive part. On my way. When we played Inter they had no shots on target”.

“I really like Allegri. I respect him. He knows how to manage players and he knows hot to improve them. Look at Cancelo. He is not the same that was at Inter. Guardiola? I thank him for the compliments, I always feel like I could be sacked in two weeks and I don’t feel I have done anything yet”.

BOATENG – “We have a close relationship. With me, he recounts his story through football. He is a particular lad with an immense heart. I didn’t try to force him to stay. I knew he wanted to join Barcelona and even if we got worse with his departure I helped him to change team”.
