First led by the score then reduced to 10 against 11, OM was ultimately unable to do anything against the PSG. For men of Roberto DeZerbiit ended with a heavy defeat in the Classic (0-3). When it comes time to take stock, some Olympians have suffered dearly. Leonardo Balerdi is notably one of its players who have not escaped criticism. The captain of theABOUT was not up to the task of PSGbut now Renato Civelli insisted on stepping up to the plate for his Argentine compatriot.
“Whoever says that OM lost because of Leo’s CSC doesn’t understand anything about football”
In an interview given to Provence, Renato Civelli took up the defense of Leonardo Balerdi after the defeat against PSG. The elder of theABOUT then blurted out: “ Anyone who says that OM lost because of Leo's CSC doesn't understand anything about football. It's collective, obviously. It was 0-1, the red card had just been distributed, wrongly in my opinion. It's not if he had made this error at 2-2 to give Paris the victory. It was already bad. I was already like that when I was playing, but it's still the case today: I don't like making a decision after a short-term action. And if Leo is called up today with Argentina, in the best national team in the world, reigning world champion and winner of the Copa America, it is not for nothing ».
“Leo is in the best moment of his career”
Civelli also explained regarding Leonardo Balerdi : « It's complicated to do an analysis when a player unfortunately scores an own goal. But I say Leo is in the best moment of his career. In football, we tend to judge good or bad based on a single action. In this case, he doesn't make the right decision and Rulli quickly goes out to get the ball. It's an accident and like in life, it's the sum of several things that happens at the wrong time. But we cannot question Leo's quality for this action ».
