Last weekend, Olympique de Marseille achieved a poor performance by bowing in the Orange Vélodrome (0-1) game stoppages, opposite the Racing Club of Lens, on the occasion of the 25th day of Ligue 1. A defeat attributed by certain journalists to Roberto de Zerbi, due to questionable choices.
Indeed, to compose his starting eleven, the Italian technician had passed the services of players such as Luis Henrique and Mason Greenwood. Certain rumors have circulated to justify these stages, including too much nonchalance displayed by English. At the day before the classic, Roberto de Zerbi wanted to clarify this situation.
Greenwood and Luis Henrique, by Zerbi goes up to the niche
“What you have read in the press is not the truth. The only reason I put them on the bench is that I did not see them 100 %, neither physically nor mentally, that's all. Greenwood and Luis Henrique are very good people, very good players. Afterwards, they are not necessarily used to evolving in a team playing the top of the ranking. It is not me who says it, it is their career that shows it ”said the Italian technician at a press conference.
And the former Brighton coach to continue: “There is no problem. Greenwood and I kiss every morning, and it's the same with Luis Henrique. There is absolutely no animosity. This week, they had a different physical program, but it is not a sanction or a sidelining. In the past, you may have seen tensions between players and coaches, but this is not the case here. There will be no scoop, no conflict to announce ”. Despite its bad pass, OM still appears in second place in the classification of Ligue 1.
