Roberto De Zerbi says his passion for football is shaped by an “ultra” background rooted in Brescia. He describes being born into the culture and being raised in the Brescia “curva” alongside his father, linking his early experiences to how he approaches the sport. De Zerbi also says he carries those influences with him as he works in north London, where his role with Tottenham brings his personal history into view.

The emphasis is on his own perspective on fan culture and how it affected his development. Overall, the outlets agree that De Zerbi connects his identity and motivation to his Brescia surroundings and presents his current position at Tottenham as part of a broader personal journey from the terraces to professional football.
