Wahi takes the tide on the networks
In a press conference, Roberto De Zerbi tried to defend his player. “He missed chances, he’s a sensitive boy, but he’s very happy to be here. The season has just started, it’s unfortunate for him to have been whistled, but he’s going to show what he can do,” promised the Italian coach of OM.
