Pablo Longoria to partake of Roberto de Zerbi's future!

“I spoke about it with Mehdi Benatia and Pablo Longoria. If I'm the problem, I'm ready to leave“, said Roberto de Zerbi at a press conference this Friday evening. A strong statement which has since caused a lot of ink to flow. The leaders of OM have decided on his future at the head of the first team .

According to information from At Minutes OMthe upper echelons of Marseille believe that the former Brighton player is still “the man for the job“It is above all the workforce and their lack of taking responsibility which is being singled out.

OM criticizes locker room executives

The specialist media cites the names of Leonardo Balerdi Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Adrien Rabiot and Mason Greenwood as the main culprits. Marseille management would demand that they set more of an example on the ground.

Since the start of the season, the group has struggled to integrate and respect the Italian technician's playing principles. And it shows. The southern team has only won two victories in its last six outings in Ligue 1. An even more contrasting record at the Stade Vélodrome.

Roberto de Zerbi, a false alarm?

Coming back to de Zerbi, whose temperament and impulsiveness we know, his statements after the defeat against AJ Auxerre should not be taken too seriously. Internally, we believe that this is a “message of revolt”. Much more than a real threat of resignation.

After the break, the Marseillais will have two difficult matches to manage. The first, on the pitch of RC Lens, and the second, at home, against AS Monaco. In the event of further poor results, the situation, visibly under control, could definitely turn sour.
