OM coach Roberto De Zerbi admitted that he did not at all like the performance of his players during the last league matches.
After such an encouraging start to the championship, OM recently fell into line. The Marseille team has only taken two points in the last six days. And there was nothing scandalous in that, as the scores delivered were disappointing.
At a press conference this Friday, and before the match against Montpellier on Sunday, coach Roberto De Zerbi admitted that he did not really recognize his troops before the international break.
“We still need to improve in the game and individual performances. We saw the players struggle against the SCO, we lack stability. We have to improve performances and build the game, I’m not satisfied yet, we had interesting halves against Reims and Toulouse. There are still many things to improve. »
De Zerbi hopes for a reaction on Sunday
The Italian technician still remains convinced of a rapid rebound for his team. Because he knows what he has at his disposaln. “We have to play well against MHSC, we want a victory to restore enthusiasm. We went from Lyon to Angers with an opposite feeling. It would be good to have a good match with a victory to prepare well for the reception of PSG. I have good guys, they suffered after this defeat against SCO. »
De Zerbi wants extra commitment from his protégés. But, he doesn’t want it to be against the referees. The ex-Brighton manager is fed up with controversies with the men in black. “We must immediately change the relationship with the referees. Referees can make mistakes but so can we. We have to play aggressively and some people go beyond the limits, we must not do anything stupid…”.
