Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master's degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
After the defeat against AJ Auxerre last Friday (1-3), Roberto De Zerbi threatened to leave his position if OM ever considered that he was the problem. A threat which carries big risks as underlined by Florent Germain who recalls that the Marseillais will have two crucial matches against Lens and Monaco.
After the humiliation in the Classic against the PSG (0-3), l’ABOUT found the Vélodrome stadium facing theALSO Auxerre and lost again (1-3), which caused a huge pressure attack from Roberto DeZerbi : « If the problem is me, well I'm ready to leave “. An outing commented by Florent Germaincorresponding to Marseille for RMCwho believes that the Italian coach took a risk by releasing this threat so early in the season.
De Zerbi took a big risk
« For me there is one subject that he avoids, and that is knowing the true level of this OM team. Afterwards, this post-match, I like honest coaches, and he has the honesty to tell the supporters via the media a lot of the things he was able to say in the locker room. So he respects that Marseille is a city of football and enthusiasts and he is one », says the journalist of RMC on the set of BFM.
“I think he was a little hasty in using this argument”
« What questions me is that it is very rare that after 11 days, a coach puts his position in the balance. Because there can be a bad sequence with Lens and Monaco, and normally it will crescendo. There you start to make threats and use terms which are perhaps exaggerated at this stage of the competition. The phrases “if I'm the problem I'm leaving”, Michel and Gattuso did it, but it was their last match. I think he was a little hasty in using this argument », added Florent Germain.
