After more than a third of the French championship disputed, Olympique de Marseille occupies third place in the standings. The Marseille club is therefore on target to qualify for the next edition of the Champions League. Except that his trainer, Roberto De Zerbi, is struggling to convince observers. Starting with Christophe Dugarry, who clearly does not hold the Italian technician in his heart.
“The other (Roberto De Zerbi) is neither Deschamps nor Guardiola. I will be extremely vigilant and I don’t know if I will be sufficiently lenient with the OM coach. To me, there is no excuse. He is not playing the Champions League, not the European Cup and has the whole week to work with his group. After several months, I want to see results”demanded the sports consultant in the show “Rothen s’igname”, on the airwaves of
RMC.
Domenech as Dugarry
For his part, Raymond Domenech is barely more intransigent towards the former Brighton coach. “I didn’t see that De Zerbi was able to demonstrate something, his game, there’s nothing and they get caught on the counter. They won two matches against Brest and Montpelier, Brest was on the street. They don’t win through mastery of the game. Against Lens, if there’s no foul, it’s 2-2.”judges the former coach of the France team on The L’Equipe channel.
On Sunday, Roberto De Zerbi will have a great opportunity to calm his detractors. In the closing match of the thirteenth day of Ligue 1, OM will host AS Monaco at the Orange Vélodrome. With the possibility for the Marseille club to double that of the Principality in the ranking in the event of victory.
