OM: De Zerbi faced with an incomprehensible situation!

Traveling to RC Lens this Saturday, OM obtained their sixth victory in seven away matches. This contrasts with the results of the Olympians at home, where they have only won once this season. What Roberto De Zerbi, despite his 11-year career, cannot explain.

As often this season, theABOUT won again away from home this Saturday evening, during his trip to the lawn of the RC Lens (1-3). This is the sixth time in seven matches that the Olympians have won away from home, a victory which comes two weeks after the great disappointment against Auxerre (1-3).

“We didn’t steal anything, it’s deserved”

« We struggled in the first half, but in this stadium it's difficult to play. Lens is a physical, strong team that puts a lot of intensity on the pitch. We suffered the first part of the first period. Maybe we were still thinking about the defeat at Auxerre, but the team struggled. In the second half we played better, we managed the ball better. Hojbjerg and Rongier played very well and we deserved because the fault on Nadir is clear. We didn't steal anything, it was deserved », reacted Roberto DeZerbi at the microphone of beIN SPORTS.

“I’ve been coaching for 11 years, but even for me it’s difficult to understand”

On the other hand, the coach ofABOUT still does not explain the difficulties of his team at the Stade Vélodrome: “ I've been coaching for 11 years, but even for me it's hard to understand. I can only say that they are a group of nice, committed boys. It is true that we are in the process of rebuilding, we lost a lot of experienced players and we added some experienced ones, like Rabiot and Hojbjerg, but a lot of young people who are having difficulty playing at the Vélodrome which is not like other stadiums. We have to grow, we have to improve, but we suffer because we can't play these games at home. Seven away games, six wins, and five home games, just one win, that explains our first half. »
