This Friday, two days before the RC Strasbourg reception (Sunday, 8:45 p.m.), Roberto De Zerbi, OM coach, was at a press conference. Excerpts.
The group point
“Mason Greenwood will be there. We have some problems for certain players who were not in good shape after the match. We'll see Sunday morning. We will try to recover all the players and have the best on the pitch.”
Elimination in the Coupe de France
“We are disappointed with the result and its outcome. But you have to know how to react in the right way in Football. It was a strange defeat. We played a very good match and in the end we were eliminated. We have to get back up with our game, our ideas and our character.
A shot on goal scored or missed is life-changing, World Cup finals have been decided on penalties. We can't just live with emotions. We had a good match, we have to continue doing what we have been doing so far. We're upset that we lost. But if you do things well in the long term, you will be rewarded.”
Lange's choice against Lille
“You think I gave Jeffrey de Lange a gift? I see him every day, I saw him in Saint-Étienne. Lille's best player on Tuesday was their goalkeeper, and I don't know how many matches he played before. If I had to do it again, I would. The gap between the outfield players is higher than between Rulli and De Lange.”
-The first leg against Strasbourg
“I remember it well, I still have it in my throat. It's a very important match. We have come from this disappointment in the Cup and it is a team in good shape, which is very well organised. It's going to be difficult. Liam Rosenior (RCSA coach), I met him in the first leg, he's a good coach, who gets good results. They have a clear identity.”
Wow on the start?
” We'll see. For now, there is nothing. We will see in the coming weeks. He will not be there on Sunday because he is still injured. His absence weighed on us this week.”
