Arriving in Marseille during the summer to everyone's surprise, the 45-year-old Italian is already doing a good job with a new squad. If the team has experienced a few hiccups, including the defeat against PSG (0-3) at the Vélodrome at the end of October, Marseille is currently 2nd in Ligue 1, with 20 points – like AS Monaco (3rd) -, behind PSG (1ᵉʳ), which has 26. A good start in France for the moment.
Asked by Tuttosport on the very Italian accent of OM this season, Mehdi Benatia, who mentioned the Paul Pogba rumor, confirmed the links with Italy, also confiding that the coach was already impatient: “ It's true, we have (Roberto) De Zerbi on the bench, who is a genius in his way of working, of interpreting football, and in the passion he puts into it. He loves his players and gives everything, he is a perfectionist, he would like the team to be at its best already. Then there is a great former Juventus player like (Fabrizio) Ravanelli, advisor to the president. He is gradually regaining his place. I'm counting on him a lot, he's also having fun with De Zerbi.«
Without forgetting Giovanni Rossi, close to Roberto De Zerbi and passed through Sassuolo with the latter, like Pablo Longoria in the past. Mehdi Benatia played for Juve, Udinese and AS Roma. Let's hope that this very Italian mixture does wonders for OM this season.
