Very affected after the defeat against AJ Auxerre (1-3) on Friday, Olympique de Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi is looking for solutions. One of them could simply come from his bench where midfielder Valentin Rongier is patiently waiting for his turn.
Ready to resign on Friday evening, Roberto De Zerbi takes the blame. The Olympique de Marseille coach does not understand the worrying level of his team still beaten at the Vélodrome. This time, it was the promoted Auxerre who highlighted Marseille's many flaws. A desperate performance for the Italian in search of solutions. So what levers can the technician activate during the international break?
For consultant Kevin Diaz, the key may lie on the bench, or even outside the group. “ Mbemba, I'm not sure this is the missing element from Olympique de Marseilleestimated the RMC columnist. But I am also certain that he will not do worse than Balerdi. Bamo Meïté, why not? It’s true that he’s a guy who is very hardworking, who is very serious. There he had a little physical problem but I think he could help too. » The specialist is thinking more of a midfielder left on the bench on Friday.
A trio with Rabiot and Hojbjerg?
« There is a player that we don't talk about enough for me, it's Valentin Rongierhe commented. Today, you have Luis Henrique who played in the middle, and that's why I'm willing to criticize De Zerbi, no problem, when it's open to criticism. Today I put Valentin Rongier in this team every day. He must play in complement to Hojbjerg and Rabiot. Three midfielders who will help consolidate this defense which is in great difficulty. He is a guy who has character and who can be captain. I hope he pulls through. There he is hardly in the closet anyway. » Back this season after a long absence, the former Nantes player needs rhythm to find his best level.
