Germain & De Zerbi: Brighton Stability

Journalist Florent Germain calmed things down after the little dig addressed to him by Roberto De Zerbi at a press conference.

« You are not succeeding in putting me in difficulty. When you ask about Hojbjerg… Every time there’s a controversial question, it’s you. I am happy to answer. When I leave Marseille, you can call me, I will give you my number, so we can argue on the phone“. These are the words, with a smile on his lips, from Roberto De Zerbi when Florent Germain questioned him at a press conference this Friday.

It was enough to ignite social networks. On X, some Marseille supporters noted RDZ’s little dig towards the journalist. But the latter immediately calmed things down on his account X : « Don’t worry, there is no problem with RDZ. It’s a media “game”. He identified me as the one who asks the “controversial” questions (sometimes true but not always). He is respectful, and proves it by answering all the questions as he does in conference.. » Debate closed.
