Roberto De Zerbi, the OM coach, affirmed that he was not completely satisfied with what his team is currently showing.
OM may currently be 2e in the ranking, it does not completely seduce. Its last victory against FC Nantes (2-1) was obtained with difficulty. The team still has room for improvement and this is a reality that Roberto De Zerbi, the coach of this team, readily acknowledged.
At a press conference on Thursday, on the eve of the opposition against Auxerre, the Italian coach indicated that he expected more from his troops. “Of course we still need to improve our quality of play. If you ask me today if I’m happy, the answer is no. The players know it. 23 goals doesn’t satisfy me and I would like to have 46.”
De Zerbi wants to stay the course
De Zerbi is therefore demanding. That said, he assures that he is happy with the investment shown by his players: “ Afterwards, I am satisfied with my men who listen to me and try to apply what I teach them.”
The former Brighton manager also admitted that the position in the table is very favorable and that the objective is to stay as high as possible: “In terms of ranking, I think we are pretty good. 2nd is good although I would have liked to have more points. But when we see the teams behind us, who are having a remarkable run in the Champions League, we can say that it is satisfactory. »
Marseille will therefore seek to stay at the forefront. And De Zerbi hopes that this will happen by playing shimmering football. “ Regarding commanding, I am not talking about commanding with the voice but with the ball. I don’t want a game where we have to wait for the opponent and just play on the counterattack. I will not be the coach who advocates this game.”
