Appointed captain of OM in the off-season, Leonardo Balerdi discovered a new status with a club that he holds in his heart. The “perfect” choice according to his compatriot Geronimo Rulli. But the Argentine defender was up after the poor performance against Angers on Friday evening.
New setback for loon. Less than a week after their defeat at StrasbourgTHE Olympians were keen to get back on track against the promoted Angevin team. But Roberto De Zerbi’s plans were thwarted by Alexandre Dujeux. Leo Balerdi even takes this draw for a defeat.
Balerdi, the “perfect player”
The choice to propel Leonardo Balerdi the role of captain was validated in the locker room. “ Leo as captain leads by example. He is the player who knows the club the most and who has spent the most time. He experienced good and bad times but he knew how to turn things around. The start of the season was not easy, he started well before his injury in the second match which deprived him of the rally with Argentina. He came back and what happened in Lyon happened. He wants to get back on the pitch and change the face he showed against Lyon. He sets an example everywhere, it’s a side that I didn’t know especially because I didn’t spend many days with him in the selection. He’s an incredible person, he cares about everyone, he’s the perfect captain », noted Geronimo Rulli this week. The Argentine defender therefore took responsibility on Friday evening by reacting to his team’s draw for DAZN.
“We can’t lose two points”
« For us, it is a defeat. The locker room feels that way. It’s hard, but you have to improve. Today, we can’t lose at home. We can’t lose two points. We have to watch the match again. We are disappointed, we have chances, but at home, we must dominate the entire match. We didn’t do it “, declared Leonardo Balerdi at the microphone of DAZN. Expected reaction after the truce against Montpellier.
