As in Saint-Étienne (0-4), where Jeffrey De Lange had kept the Olympian goals without missteps (he had been called upon very little), Roberto De Zerbi maintains his confidence in the Dutch goalkeeper before the meeting this Tuesday evening at the Velodrome.
“– Yes, I have decided who will be lined up as goalkeeper.
– So who will play?
– You will learn it tomorrow“, smiled Roberto De Zerbi the day before at a press conference, maintaining the suspense as to who would be his last defense against Lille in the round of 16 of the French Cup final.
The former Go Ahead Eagles, whose qualities are praised internally, will therefore play his second match with OM. “The cup is not a second competition, it is at championship level so I will not give any gifts. Those who offer me the most guarantees will play”, continued the Italian technician, demonstrating that he maintains his confidence in Geronimo Rulli's understudy.
Furthermore, the entry of De Lange into the Olympian eleven will be the only novelty compared to the typical team led during the success in Rennes.
