In addition, both teams changed coaches this summer and changed their playing philosophy. OM’s Italian coach Roberto De Zerbi was a source of inspiration for Liam Rosenior. They both appreciate risk-taking, forward play, total commitment. Even if Racing is much more fragile defensively, which prevents it from being ahead of the standings like OM.
