De Zerbi took aim at his side’s “fragile and inconsitent” nature following a defeat which leaves them rooted to the bottom of the table heading into the international break, and was particularly critical of summer signing Mateus Fernandes<\/a> following the decision to withdraw the midfielder at half time for Mohammed Kudus.<\/p>\n

“Mateus is different than Kudus,” he said. “I have big confidence in Mateus but I didn’t like his performance today. It’s not an attack on him because I love him. I just want more from him, even in that position.”<\/p>\n
