Sassuolo is continuing to enjoy this successful moment after beating Verona 2-0 at the Betegodi. Neroverdi manager Roberto De Zerbi spoke with the press after the match.
"We didn't play our best game today. Taking on Verona is completely different than taking on Atalanta. Verona makes it difficult for everyone. You must have the desire to come and win. Playing here isn't easy for anyone and it was not for us today."
"We must make people serious. If someone wants to always go higher, yes, but there are certain levels that we still haven't reached. Some teams have something more than us and that's clear. If you want to make the jump in quality, there's the need to be more vertical at times. In regards to the awards there are standard contracts that the club makes. There's not salvation but Europa and Champions League. Locatelli? He's a complete midfielder."
