“We have to manage to strengthen the team, everyone knows. We already wanted to be complete, unfortunately it is not the case. »» Roberto de Zerbi had been clear after the victory won against Paris FC last weekend. And it is obviously not the defeat conceded this Sunday on the lawn of Olympique Lyonnais which made it change its mind. “” Cornelius was the only defender on the bench “, He also railed after the meeting at Groupama Stadium.
