Roberto De Zerbi hopes Sassuolo learn the lesson of ‘taking nothing for granted’ as they prepare to host Milan in Serie A tomorrow.
Sassuolo have lost just once since the season restarted but were held for the second game running at the weekend, drawing 1-1 with Parma despite dominating for spells.
“Nothing can be taken for granted. That’s the lesson we need to learn,” De Zerbi said at a press conference.
Roberto De Zerbi hopes Sassuolo learn the lesson of ‘taking nothing for granted’ as they prepare to host Milan in Serie A tomorrow.
Sassuolo have lost just once since the season restarted but were held for the second game running at the weekend, drawing 1-1 with Parma despite dominating for spells.
“Nothing can be taken for granted. That’s the lesson we need to learn,” De Zerbi said at a press conference.
“I don’t know if it’ll act as a lesson because every game is different. In a match like the one against Cagliari, there’s a lot of rage if you don’t come away with all three points, but football is also like this.
“We’re on a good run, we’ve picked up from where we left off before lockdown. In these last four games, we have to take maximum points.”
The Neroverdi face a Milan side in similarly-hot form and with ambitions of Europa League qualification too.
“They have several top individuals and are doing well. We have to be absolutely wary of Pioli, who’s done an amazing job.
“We’ve scored lots of goals at Inter, Juve and Lazio and we can cause anyone problems.
“We’ll still need to rotate. Some who played at Cagliari have played for 90 minutes in 3-4 games on the trot.
“We can still qualify for Europe. It’s not easy and there are still 12 points up for grabs, but even finishing eighth would be a good result, given the teams who are near us.”
