Since his arrival at OM, Roberto De Zerbi has decided to appoint Leonardo Balerdi as captain. The Argentinian acquired this status because he has been at Marseille since 2020, which makes him one of the longest-serving players at the Marseille club. However, the central defender sometimes gets through certain matches despite his status, which has already earned him serious reprimands from his coach.
Sunday, OM travels to the pitch of theOGC Nice at the end of the 19th day of Ligue 1. The partners of Valentin Rongier will hope to impose themselves to stay in contact with the PSG and not let the capital club impose itself. To get there, Roberto DeZerbi will count above all on the solidity of its defense, led by Leonardo Balerdi.

Since the start of the season, Roberto DeZerbi relies heavily on Leonardo Balerdi. The Marseille technician has made him his captain and the Argentinian often responds, but he can also sometimes be completely wrong. This was particularly the case against the PSG where the central defender unfortunately scored an own goal.
