“We are very happy for the result. If I’m honest, I think we played better in other games, for example at Old Trafford,” De Zerbi told the Premier League website.
“It was important to get this result. When you play a team like Coventry, you can’t see the difficult situation, but if you make a mistake, then you see a counterattack.”
De Zerbi also reserved high praise for James Maddison, highlighting the midfielder’s spectacular goal and unique importance to the team.
“Maddison scored a great goal and that is important; he is a different player,” he added.
