A few dozen minutes after Bruno Genesio, Roberto De Zerbi appeared at a press conference this Monday. The opportunity to take a complete look at the group available for this clash between LOSC and OM.
Saddened by its recent results, draws against Nantes (1-1) and Auxerre (0-0), LOSC still remains undefeated in 19 matches in all competitions, its personal best. The latter, added to the dynamic followed by Olympique de Marseille, makes the upcoming duel between the two teams the poster child for the round of 32 of the Coupe de France. On D-1 of this perilous reception, captain Leonardo Balerdi and his coach Roberto De Zerbi appeared at a press conference. The technician, who did not mention the day less recovery for his men, had arranged the Olympian calendar in such a way as to limit the lack of recovery.
This is how the Olympique de Marseille delegation dozed off in Brittany this Saturday, January 11, following its victory over Stade Rennais (1-2) of Jorge Sampaoli and his new recruits:
“I hope so (the gamble of having slept in Rennes paid off, editor’s note). We stayed in Rennes to sleep better, eat better. Resting before returning to Marseille, that was the goal. We came back yesterday and did a little training for the players who hadn't played. There, we find ourselves today with few things. The match will mainly be prepared with video rather than on the pitch”he told the media this Monday.
This rest was not enough to allow the many injured to recover. For this meeting, OM will therefore have to maneuver without six members of their locker room: Elye Wahi (thigh) started running again, Geoffrey Kondogbia et
Alex Koum are in the rehabilitation phase),
Amine Harit is still being treated for a calf problem. This list, already substantial, obviously sees the addition of long-term injured with Valentin Carboni
(knee) and Faris Moumbagna (knee). Only Pol Lirola was back in the group, even if his presence is not assured this Tuesday against Lille.
