He mentioned all the players except Pascal - probably just an oversight?

Great, stuff, massively impressed by his English already! Like his Solly appreciation, a few on here should take note of that.
Also love the response and look of disdain he gave the journalist who asked that idiot question about asking Pep Guardiola how to beat Liverpool. Don't know why they ask these type of questions, JC the same with his Klopp question, boring and a total waste of time.

Potterball with an ever increasing amount of Zerbification
Probably annoyed with him for making him look silly on the training pitch with his Gross Turn.
This is a hilarious thread. The jokes, the tantrums, love it. Well done, lads 
A propos Solly, I was watching the England games last week and suddenly a thought popped into my head: 'Solloy would be an upgrade, out there on the left*'.
And I don't have any particular axe to grind, being a big fan of Southgate.
*or right.

Just watched the conference. Experiencing some fairly heightened levels of man love
Interesting tomorrow. On our day we can give them a game and beat them. You hope that the new manager may get and extra few % out and that gives us a real chance.
As always , will need some luck.
Liked the interview. Not expecting any thing different but think from Spurs may see the odd thing.
We can get a point. I'd happily accept a good performance even if lose for a change if players show good unity and a real fighting desire.

De Zerbi's interview technique is already light years ahead of Liz Truss's. For a start, he answered all the questions.
Good to hear him confirm, that he has no intention of changing anything too soon.

I'm worried that he's not going to have time to get from his 6music show on Saturday morning to Anfield by kick off.
He is impressive. His press conferences will be entertaining I think. In Italy, the football journalists and fans have a much greater appreciation for tactics on the pitch than English football journalists and fans generally so their press conferences are usually quite entertaining and enlightening with intelligent questions asked and answered. I don't think it will be long before he gets frustrated with the mundane and quite frankly stupid questions he will be asked here.

Yes, that was a really interesting insight in how he operates. I view it that they will both be working together to insert the missing piece into the jigsaw that is Solly. Solly + goals is a CL standard player. At the moment, without goals, he's a mid-table PL player, which is some achievement in itself. He can do it, but something psychological needs to change, and this is RDZ's first move in attempting to bring that about.

Pascal probably asked him not to, to keep him below the radar.

Yeah, that's how I remember the King Alfred as well!He says he has been spending time under water. That is ridiculous! He has either been swimming in the sea, profoundly dangerous with sewage issues or he has been off to the King Alfred for a wee dip. Ridiculous, he should have been at the training ground! De Zerbi out!

And he didn't read from a script like Corbyn used to...
Regarding Solly... there's no chance a football manager wouldn't think highly of him, he is a very good footballer, arguably his great versatility has somewhat hampered his reputation. If he had kept playing as LWB, like two seasons ago, I think he'd be in contention for the English NT. But he wants to play on the right wing and when it comes to the England team, that obviously increases the amount and level of competition into making it tough to believe he could actually make it in there. Would be lovely to see though. I made a throw-away predicition for Solly to be in the WC squad, but obviously very unlikely now since GS decided not too look at options and candidates when picking his last squad.
Agree, but he will have to learn. Say anything that could - with a lot of effort and "creativity" - turned into a controversial headline and the British press will be on it in a different way than Italian press would. You get punished if you say interesting things in English football.

Couldn't you say that about any player if they start scoring goals regularly in the PL? Undav 20 goals CL quality, Mitoma 15 goals CL quality.

If he scored a hat-trick or a last minute winner tomorrow you would still be moaning. Get off his back.

The quote was nothing to do with March, more the reasoning if a player was really good he would be champions league quality. You could say the same about any player.
Anyway to answer your quote unlikely.
