“I make my choice before the matches, making them after is simpler…”. It was an offensive Roberto De Zerbi who presented himself to journalists this Thursday, on the eve of theMarseille Olympic against AJ Auxerre, scheduled for this Friday at 8:45 p.m.

The Italian technician seemed annoyed by the incessant debates around his two center forwards, Elye Wahi and Neal Maupay. The latter scored points by delivering an excellent performance in Nantes, crowned with an important goal (2-1). But Wahi had also found the net in Montpellier two weeks earlier (5-0).

“The hierarchy remains the same”

If De Zerbi did not deny Maupay’s contribution to the game, the OM coach wanted to send a clear message: the hierarchy remains the same. Elye Wahi would therefore still be number 1 in this position.

The hierarchy remains the same, he repeated.

I make my choice before the matches, making them after is simpler. Between Wahi and Maupay, the hierarchy is the same. I like Wahi’s qualities. Maupay has more experience. There is an age difference. The number 9 must know how to score but also press and play. We are not intense enough in this pressing throughout the 90 minutes. »
