Yeah, I think it's really interesting as well with Di Zerbi.
Listening to a manager at the start versus a manager at the end can be like so significant because he says, oh, you know, they need the father figure.
They need the brother.
And then like two, three games in, they need the stepfather.
Let them know that this is unacceptable.
This will not be done in my house this way.
Because the results, they're hugely important.
If he remains relaxed, it shows that he's going to be there next season regardless.
But if it's a case of, you know, this is like absolutely everything, you see a change in tone.
And something I would kind of push back against a little bit.
is, yes, we know how Deserbi's teams play, but we don't know the journey for those teams to get there.
Like, I've had an Italian manager in the past who would have you doing team shape every single day of the week.
Like, days off disappear, an hour of this session is going to be walking through these things.
And I think for some players, that can, like, break morale as such.
Yeah.
Whereas there could be some whereby you learn it through lots of things that keep you thinking and so on.
So those players, they've seen how, say, Brighton have played.
They might have seen how Marseille have played, you know, Shakhtar and so on.
But seeing the Real Derby come out at some point, that could be a shock to some people.
And whether that comes now or next season, it's going to be interesting.
