First defeat of the season for Olympique de Marseille under the orders of Roberto De Zerbi on the Strasbourg pitch 1 goal to 0. The Olympians, dominated especially in the first half, raised their heads, but not enough. Find the words of coach De Zerbi at a press conference after this first setback of the season…
OM did not expect such a disappointment. Despite Roberto De Zerbi’s warning this week after the great victory in Lyon, the Olympique de Marseille players did not find the solution to score a goal in Petrovic.
Only Diego Moreira, the former Lyon and Chelsea player, found the fault in the 40th minute, despite a very strong Geronimo Rulli who saved his teammates’ defensive errors more than once. With a repositioning of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the central hinge, because De Zerbi did not want to have a three-left-handed defense (with Kondogbia, Cornelius and Brassier), OM was not to their advantage defensively at Meinau.
And for the first time this season the Olympians finished a match without having scored a single goal. Even if in the second period, Greenwood twice and Maupay had the equalizing ball, either through clumsiness or because of Petrovic’s saves, OM are “Fanny” this evening.
A look back at this first defeat of the OM season with Roberto De Zerbi’s full press conference.
