OM coach Roberto De Zerbi said he hoped that Sunday's victory against Monaco would be “the start of an important story at the Vélodrome”, after a complicated start to the season at home.
“I hope this will be the start of an important story at the Vélodrome. Many of us came to Marseille for that”declared the Italian technician, whose team had so far only won once in five matches at home. “It was a shame not to be able to express myself. We had a mental block, which did not allow us to play calmly and lucidly. There was a fear of doing wrong and it’s difficult to play like that.”De Zerbi explained.
“We weren’t ourselves. This evening on the other hand, even with a few mistakes, I saw my players do what we have been training for since July 8, that is to say playing with courage, organization, fighting, running, trying, taking risks, press high. This is the team I see every day.”he developed. “It gives me pleasure to see my players express their qualities. I felt responsible for not being able to allow them to give 100%. I was sorry to see them only give 20 or 30% here”he further explained.
“I hope we found the right route to play here. Here we do a different sport, it's not like in other cities. But it’s also more beautiful to play here”the conclusion of De Zerbi.
