In August last year, video footage surfaced of the pair having to be separated by players and staff at the French club&#8217;s training ground, leaving De Zerbi furious at the training session.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The now Tottenham manager was heard telling Cohn to &#8220;get in&#8221; and then yelling at him to &#8220;call my agent&#8221;. Kone later left Marseille for Sassuolo in that transfer window, but now Marsch has stepped forward to protect the Canadian midfielder, with some scathing comments aimed squarely at De Zerbi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;His relationship with De Zerbi at Marseille was not easy for him. De Zerbi was a real bastard to him, but he remained strong. He never doubted himself. He found a new environment, and look at his development today. I repeat, De Zerbi acted like a real bastard to him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;When I took over the reins of the Canadian national team, I thought Ismael was an inexperienced player but full of talent. Since then, I&#8217;ve talked to him a lot about discipline and focus and what that means in everyday life: his diet, his sleep habits, the way he trains, the way he plays, and his overall intelligence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;He went to Italy to play in a newly promoted team in a very organized league, played a very important role in that team and had a great season. Look at the progress he has made despite the difficulties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>On the other hand, Mr. de Zerbi effectively maintained his assessment of Mr. Kone in a documentary that captured the conflict between the two men.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&#8220;He is one of the players with the most potential at Olympique Marseille, but he has not always behaved well. He is a player with too many ups and downs for a player who is ready for Olympique Marseille,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>De Zerbi managed four games for Tottenham, picking up seven points which were vital to avoiding the drop zone. Last Sunday&#8217;s win at Aston Villa, and West Ham&#8217;s loss to Brentford just 24 hours earlier, means the Lilywhites now sit one point outside the bottom three and take their fate into their own hands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>This weekend, the Hammers host league leaders Arsenal on Sunday afternoon, while Tottenham host Leeds United in north London on Monday night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Spurs end the season with matches against Chelsea and Everton, while West Ham face Newcastle United and Leeds. Tottenham travel to Stamford Bridge a few days after their game against their relegation rivals at St James&#8217; Park, but the final 10 games of the season will kick off at the same time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Nottingham Forest&#8217;s 3-1 win over Chelsea on Monday effectively guaranteed Vitor Pereira&#8217;s team a place in the Premier League as they continued their unbeaten run since mid-March and reached the latter stages of the Europa League.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2202893\/roberto-de-zerbi-training-rant\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roberto de Zerbi has come under fire from Canadian national team head coach Jesse Marsh over his handling of Ismael Kone during his time at Marseille.
