After OM's defeat at the Vélodrome against Auxerre (1-3) on Friday evening, Roberto De Zerbi said he was ready to leave the club.
OM experienced yet another very complicated evening at the Vélodrome. At the opening of the 11e day of Ligue 1,
the Marseillais lost 1-3 against the promoted Auxerrethis Friday evening. Trailing 0-3 at the break, Adrien Rabiot and his partners reduced the score in the second half on a penalty from Mason Greenwood, but were unable to turn the situation around. Enough to provoke the anger of their supporters, but also of Roberto De Zerbi.
At the end of the match, the Marseille coach, disillusioned, said he was ready to leave the Olympian club. “ I must take responsibility for this defeat at home, he said at a press conference. We're having difficulties at home, that's clear. I don't know if it's a lack of courage or personality. I came here to play at the Vélodrome because I wanted to live the experience. If the problem is me, I'm ready to leave. I'm leaving without the money, the rest I don't care. I don't want to make excuses and talk nonsense. I'm not going to escape, we have to face reality. This is what I have to do. »
De Zerbi: 'If I'm the problem, I have to leave'
« I live for things that transcend footballcontinued De Zerbi. JI repeat, if I'm the problem, I have to leave. Money is nothing to me. It’s the reward from the work that’s important. I don't have bad things to say about my players. If I leave, I leave my heart, my soul. »
“They have to understand what it’s like to play for Marseille, insisted the Italian technician. To play here, you have to understand the city, the history of the club. We must be suicide bombers. I'm going crazy not understanding why we can do certain things outside and at home we can't. We must try to find solutions. » According to information from RMC Sport, Marseille leaders maintain complete confidence in their coach and have no intention of parting ways with him.
