Host of SCO Angers, Friday evening, Olympique de Marseille conceded their second draw of the season at home.
Olympique de Marseille hosted Angers on Friday evening in the opening match of the seventh day of Ligue 1. But the evening did not go well for the Phocéens, who were caught by the promoted side (1- 1). After this second difficult draw at home, the Marseille coach designated a few of his players, who did not deliver a good performance.
De Zerbi accepts criticism
Since the feat achieved in Lyon (2-3) during the fifth day despite numerical inferiority, nothing is going well for Olympique de Marseille in the French championship. Beaten by Strasbourg (1-0) during the sixth day, the Marseille club has just drawn against Angers (1-1) while the two teams were 10 against 10 on the field. This is the second draw for OM at home this season after the one against Reims (2-2). A poor performance accepted by the Phocéens coach.

“I accepted the compliments after the good results, now we have to accept the criticism. We must accept. It’s hard, we’re left with a defeat (1-0 in Strasbourg) and this draw. We got off to a very good start, with lots of victories, goals and chances. Now we have to live with these results”launched Roberto De Zerbi after the match against the Angevins.

The coach identifies the flops against Angers
Saying ” Sorry “ for the supporters because of these results in recent weeks, Roberto De Zerbi still recognizes that OM “had a good start to the season”. If he admits that the reconstruction of the Marseille team would take time and would experience some difficult moments, the former Brighton coach regretted the copy delivered by some of his players, who were not at the top of their level facing Angers.
“We must be aware that we are trying to build a great Marseille and that it does not happen suddenly. We have to go through matches like the one in Strasbourg and the one this (Friday) evening. It’s a difficult moment. The episodes are not going our way, some decisive players are not in good shape and did not play their best game. Luis Henrique, Greenwood, Hojbjerg… They were a little imprecise in their first moves, but we could have won and we should have won anyway.added De Zerbi, who said he had “completely confident” in its players.
The trip to Montpellier after the international break is eagerly awaited, on October 22 before the classic against Paris Saint-Germain, on the evening of October 27.
