Maupay on De Zerbi: 'I don't treat my children like that'

📰 Marseille striker Maupay has spoken for the first time about being frozen out under former coach De Zerbi. 📌 Key points 🎙️ Maupay looked back on the De Zerbi era in an interview with RMC Sport. 👨‍👦 De Zerbi once described Maupay as being like his son. 📦 After being dropped, his belongings were left in a portable cabin. 🗣️ Maupay said: 'I don't treat my children like that.' 🤝 He insisted he no longer holds a grudge. 📝 What happened 👨‍👦 At Marseille, De Zerbi described Maupay as being like a son to him. He later removed him from first-team training, and Maupay ended up going on loan to Sevilla. 📦 'When you turn up for training and your things are in a portable cabin at the back of the training ground, when you're doing laps on your own and you can't get into the dressing room, of course it gets to you. It would be a lie to say otherwise,' he said. 🗣️ On the 'son' remark, he replied: 'In any case, I don't treat my children like that. Everyone has their own way of doing things, their own parenting methods.' 🤝 But he added: 'I've got older. A few years ago, I would have held a grudge against a lot of people,' saying he wants to move on. 📊 By the numbers • Maupay's age: 30 • His last competitive goal: April • Marseille's league record: 1 win, 4 defeats in 5 games, 17th 🔭 Why it matters De Zerbi is now in charge at Tottenham, and these comments could put his man-management back under the spotlight. Maupay is back in the Marseille first-team squad. With the club struggling near the relegation zone, they badly need goals from forwards like him after the break.
