Nightmare evening for Olympique de Marseille. The Marseille club completely missed out on their Classic against Paris Saint-Germain (defeat with a score of 3 goals to 0).

Regrouped in their own half throughout the match, OM were never able to worry their rival even before the red card conceded in the 20th minute of play by Amine Harit.

After the match, Roberto De Zerbi was not kind to his players. The Italian coach did not hesitate to rant against the performance of his men who did not respect the game plan worked out in training this week.

We talked about the red card. We talked about the fact that we conceded two stupid goals. There are things to improve. At 11v11, we weren’t level. We need to have more races, more sacrifices, I told the players. We showed a lot of red cards. I don’t want to know if it was fair or not. We couldn’t do it again like in Lyon. We didn’t play with courage like my team should play. You had to play with courage, that’s why it was more difficult. We will have to continue to work and do more. We need to have more personality and play better. We didn’t know how to be competitive. We had prepared well to play with courage. If we don’t play with courage, we can’t wear this jersey.” he said at the microphone of DAZN after the game.

Coming back against FC Nantes

OM made a bad move this weekend. With this setback, the Olympians are now 6 points behind the Parisian leader and 3 points behind runner-up AS Monaco. Adrien Rabiot’s partners will have to raise their heads the next day on the pitch at FC Nantes as part of the 10th day. Success is imperative to get back on track.
