Welcomed in Marseille by several journalists, Roberto De Zerbi finally arrived in the Phocaean city on Wednesday. An arrival that the supporters were all waiting for and which surprised more than one. Yvan Le Mée, players’ agent, returned to this news on the set of the channel l’Equipe, for whom the Italian coach made the choice of the heart.
Invited to react to the officialization of By Zerbi at OM, Yvan Le Méeplayers’ agent, explained, according to him, why the former Brighton coach committed to Marseille. “From Zerbi he does not come for the quality of the squad, he comes for the place, for the position and especially for the stadium. Afterwards, in fact, he plays with very particular players and therefore we will have to changer a lot of things in this squad if we want to fit into a De Zerbi scheme. But this announces, at least, another beau market for this summer. ”
“There is no European stadium with such an atmosphere”
Such a special atmosphere that Yvan Le Mée recounts through a anecdote. “OM is still a stronghold at European level today. I remember, I was at the Atalanta Bergamo hotel, during the semi-final first leg, in Marseille, and I wasn’t very worried about Bergamo. But Bergamo was worried for the match at the Vélodrome. When you enter this stadium there is no European stadium where you have a such an atmosphere.«
