After OM's heavy defeat at the Vélodrome against Auxerre (3-1) in Ligue 1, Roberto De Zerbi had very strong words, offering to leave if he was considered “the problem”. But the Marseille management is behind its coach, in whom it fully maintains its confidence.
Will the slap received by OM against Auxerre at the Vélodrome this Friday, November 8, at the opening of the 11th day of Ligue 1, leave its mark? The Marseille technician's comments to the media in any case left an impression.
Roberto De Zerbi gave the same speech in the locker room as he said in the press conference after the match: “If I'm the problem, I'm ready to leave”; “You need character to play here at the Vélodrome.” The Italian technician shouted a lot, with the desire to shake up his locker room before the break and make them think to serve as an electric shock.
Total confidence in De Zerbi
But internally, there is no debate. OM management has complete confidence in its coach and is targeting the players' lack of character. The leaders analyze this statement as proof that he is a passionate person who lives football without half measures.
A close friend of Roberto De Zerbi explains that he “can't stand the idea of not winning or convincing at the Vélodrome when he came largely for the Vélodrome”. After the international break, the Marseillais will play away, in Lens, before hosting Monaco.
