After drawing Tottenham Hotspur 0-0 against Everton in the Premier League round four, coach De Zerbi gave an interview to "Match of the Day"

De Zerbi said: "We played very well for about 30 minutes. Then, because we couldn't score, we started to lose confidence. Our physical condition wasn't good enough, so we gradually lost energy. We made many mistakes in the final third, both in shooting and passing. The execution and decision-making were problematic."

"But our preparation started late. Due to players returning from the World Cup, injuries, and the transfer market, we've faced many challenges. Some situations were beyond our control and not our responsibility," he added. "Now we're trying to adapt. We've really only been training with the full squad for about 10 days."

"We need to continue developing. We need to analyze different situations in the game better, both individually and collectively."

"That's football. In today's game, we could have lost. So we have to accept that. I want to apologize to the fans because they gave tremendous support to the players, especially in the first half."

"But when you have fans like this and a coach like me who is very ambitious, when the team has chances but doesn't score or shoot, you have to be frustrated, of course."

"We don't have a player in the squad who has scored many goals throughout his career. But in any case, we have many excellent players. I really like my team," De Zerbi stated. "I genuinely believe that if we can sustain the form we showed in the first 30 minutes for longer, we will win many games."

On James Maddison

"He's a very good player, perhaps the most talented player in the squad. But right now, his physical condition isn't sufficient for him to play. Hopefully next week, he'll be able to train more. He will be a very important player, as he has shown throughout his career."

On the Team's Current Level

"I think the first 30 minutes were our best period of the season so far. I felt during that time we should have tried to shoot more and created more chances. But I think this is just part of the normal process."
