Roberto De Zerbi was full of praise for his group after the victory in Rennes this Saturday (2-1). The coach thinks very big for his Olympique de Marseille.
OM wants to tickle PSG, it’s now official. Winners of Stade Rennais yesterday at Roazhon Park (2-1), the Marseillais are four provisional points behind the French champion and are looking ahead. “We are halfway through the championship. You have to ask me the question, said Roberto De Zerbi in the post-match press conference. If the championship ended today, we would be second. But there are 17 matches left, even more difficult, but it is true that we have reached a very high level of team, mentality, play and individual performances so we are confident. »
“I have a thriving team”
The OM coach is calm because he is aware of the high quality of his group. “I’m very lucky, I have players who are very strong, with the right mentality. They have a good head on their shoulders, but they are ambitious. The players know how they should behave. I have a team that is budding, he continued. I want the players to be the leaders of my team. I am very happy to see ten leaders on my team. I have been lucky to have been the coach of so many groups, like today in Marseille. I believe that in football, but in all professions, when there are professional qualities, it is important. But there must be respect and esteem between the players, which are two determining conditions. If you also manage to put affect between them, then you do extraordinary things. And I believe that in Marseille, this is what is happening. »
