Roberto De Zerbi's bloodbath after the match against Auxerre has been dissected, and what he reserved for his locker room did not remain a secret for long. The OM coach didn't expect it.
The locker room, a sacred place and a tomb where nothing comes out. This was valid in Brighton and in the Premier League, where journalists may be on the verge of voyeurism when it comes to following clubs, but the information that comes out of the group is very rare. In France, at OM or elsewhere, the coaches' talk, the future team composition, or the slightest discrepancy in the locker room appears in the press the next day. This was again the case last week, after Marseille's home defeat against Auxerre.
Roberto De Zerbi railed in front of the press, even threatening quite theatrically to leave his post if he was the reason for the Marseille club's bad luck. But quickly, RMC revealed that this tough speech in front of the media was nothing compared to what the Italian technician had said in the locker room, where he had taken several players to task, accusing them of not having the courage to play at the Vélodrome and asking them to take their responsibilities.
No mole hunt for De Zerbi
The transcription of this speech to the players in the press surprised Roberto De Zerbi, reveals La Provence. The coach revealed in Sassuolo, in a country where “silenzio stampa” (media silence) is required, will not necessarily go on a mole hunt, but he would clearly have preferred that his speech to the locker room remained in the locker room . This will hardly be the case in France and the OM coach, who took a few days to return to Brescia to get some fresh air during this short break, has in any case taken note of it. His attacks in public or in the secret of the group are not likely to remain so for long in France, where moles are one of the specialties compared to what happens in many European countries.
