While Marc Libbra, former OM striker (1992-1998), announced that he did not believe in the Italian coach, the 1998 world champion, on RMCfelt that the Italian had not “no excuses” for not performing well with Olympique de Marseille, responding to Jérôme Rothen, who compared the 45-year-old coach, more pragmatic against Lens (3-1), to the Blues coach: “The other (Roberto De Zerbi) is neither (Didier) Deschamps nor (Pep) Guardiola. (…) I will be extremely vigilant and I don’t know if I will be sufficiently lenient with the OM coach. To me, there is no excuse. He doesn't play the Champions League, he doesn't play the European Cup, he has the whole week to work with his group. (…) After eight months, I want to see results. (…) He has the players for it and he has the time to work and he has the time to prepare them. »
Christophe Dugarry also expects more at the Vélodrome: “What I want to see is the home game. And there, I'm sorry, De Zerbi has no excuse. So, we can always compare him to Guardiola, to Deschamps, whatever you want, I will be uncompromising. For the moment, it’s far from the mark.”
Criticized despite his victory against Lens, Roberto De Zerbi, who took his group to the green during the week, will have to respond to all these beautiful media people this Sunday, against AS Monaco.
