Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master's degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
Second in Ligue 1, OM had a very encouraging first part of the season for the great debut of Roberto De Zerbi on the Marseille bench. Presented as the Messiah to relaunch the Marseille club, the Italian technician has however not completely placed his paw on the OM game, but it is starting to take hold as Steve Savidan points out.
Last summer, OM obtained the signing of Roberto De Zerbi to replace Jean-Louis Gasset. A huge blow for the Marseille club which also had an encouraging first part of the season. However, according to Steve Savidan, De Zerbi's paw is not yet completely marked, and when it starts to take hold, it should be impressive.
“Everyone was waiting for him as “the Messiah of Marseille””
« OM is on a long-term project. This year, they only have the championship to play and the cup. Now is the time to build a squad to be operational next season. This year, the objective is to achieve a very good ranking with qualification for the Champions League, why not go as far as possible in the cup. But above all, it is to build a squad. Because as we have seen, De Zerbi did not have such a promising start after all », blurted out the former attacker at the microphone of Rothen ignites on RMCbefore continuing.
“We have to secure this 2nd place”
« Everyone expected him to be 'the Messiah of Marseille' but it was complicated. In November-December, it started to take hold. So now, the second phase of the project, there was communication, there was the arrival of certain players, now we have to do a little cleaning up in the squad to have competitive players and have a bench length. I think they're going to be on the lookout for a lot of opportunities. They showed it to us when they recruited Rabiot. It’s an extraordinary blow for OM. They may not go hunting for PSG because they are a little far away. But in any case, we must secure this 2nd place », added Steve Savidan.
