Roberto De Zerbi, the OM coach, was particularly complimentary towards one of his players after the success against Lens.
OM hit hard this Saturday evening by winning at Lens (3-1). A start that his trainer Roberto De Zerbi greatly appreciated. At the final whistle, the latter did not fail to distribute compliments. And one of his players was entitled to it more than the others.
De Zerbi was won over by the service provided by Valentin Rongier. The latter broke the deadlock by opening the score for Marseille after returning from the locker room, but that's not what his coach liked most about him. “ Rongier gives us this balance and this order, he underlined at the microphone of BeIN Sports. I had to take it off because I was afraid of the second yellow. When I took it out, we lost order and suffered a bit. I try to put the players in the best predispositions.”
De Zerbi hopes for OM as brilliant at home
The Olympian coach then delivered his analysis on the contrast that there was between his team produced before and after the break. “We had difficulty in 1e period, but in this stadium it is difficult to play. Lens is a physical, strong team with intensity. We suffered, and perhaps we were still thinking about Auxerre. But the team struggled. In 2e period we played better and managed the ball. Hojbjerg and Rongier played well, and we deserved our victory. This match shows the path to follow. I hope we won’t lose him in Monaco.”
De Zerbi has therefore already planned towards receiving ASM. It's because he's desperate to see his troops perform as well at home as they do away.
“What’s missing at home? I've been training for 11 years and even for me it's difficult to understand. We're going to say that it's a group of young boys who are getting involved. We are rebuilding and we have lost a lot of experienced players. We have to grow and improve. We suffer because we cannot play these matches at home. »
