This time, Roberto de Zerbi did not need to wait to be in his car, returning to his home, to have a vision. The sad spectacle offered by OM during a first without flavor against Montpellier (5-1) allowed him to open his eyes and embark on a large introspection concerning the game offered by his own. Not much to get under the tooth, if not the opening of the score signed Mason Greenwood on a penalty, before a new sterile possession and sequences of long passes like a day without bread. Unbearable for the Olympian technician who cogitated throughout the Easter weekend on the reform to be carried out to change the course of things before deciding to reopen the dossier of the game scheme of his Olympic. It was believed to be closed since the enthronement of 3-4-2-1 in Lens, November 23, 2024, and the return of convincing results.
Having become too predictable, weighted by a game that purred too much, OM began a tactical beginning of revolution on the occasion of the arrival of Brest (4-1). Or rather a kind of return to the sources of a system deployed during the first months of competition, with the return of 4-2-3-1 (or 4-3-3, it is according to) called their wishes by several observers. The secret had been well kept and the Finistériens began to realize this change during … the warm -up.
