This weekend again, Olympique de Marseille failed to take three points. In poor form, are the Marseille stars hampering the good start to the season for Roberto De Zerbi’s OM?
OM have had a good start to the season and are currently on the podium behind AS Monaco and PSG. However, in recent weeks, it has been more complicated for Roberto De Zerbi’s players. Jérôme Rothen was on RMC on his show this Monday and spoke on this subject. The former PSG player thinks that OM, like many other clubs, is dependent on its stars. Marseille’s bad patch coincides with the decline in form of certain locker room players like Mason Greenwood or Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
The teams are dependent. There are players who make you win, that’s how it is — Rothen

“OM is like all teams. They are dependent on their big players (…). The start of the OM season, so of course it lasted maybe three or four matches, and it’s going quickly in Marseille because we catch fire quickly… but it’s not because that (Mason) Greenwood has had three bad games in a row that that’s it, Greenwood is back in line and that he’s a small player. It’s like (Pierre-Emile) Hojbjerg. The teams are dependent. There are players who make you win, that’s how it is. It’s always existed. (…) If (Mason) Greenwood is good, in general, the results will turn towards Marseille,” explained the former midfielder in his show on RMC this Monday.
