A month after an explosive match in Ligue 1, theMarseille Olympic and Lille meet at the Vélodrome for the most enticing display of these Round of 32 matches of the Coupe de France (kick-off at 9:10 p.m.). A meeting that Roberto De Zerbi approaches with enormous ambition.
“I live to win, we are here to build first and then succeed, he said. But before talking about the title, we have to win tomorrow (Tuesday), the Coupe de France final is still very far away (May 24). It will be a big match against Lille, we will have to put in a great performance. We want to win, as we want to win on Sunday (8:45 p.m.) in Ligue 1 against Strasbourg. »
OM with its executives?
With which starting eleven? If the prolific Rulli should give way to his understudy De Lange in the goals, OM could present themselves with a team close to their typical eleven, in terms of animation as well as in the choice of men. De Zerbi assures that he does not want to give gifts.
“The Coupe de France is not a second competition, but a priority competition, at the same level as the Championship. I have no gifts to give, just to transcribe what I see in training to make the best possible composition, hoping to make as few mistakes as possible, I must place those who offer the most guarantees. The players are all employees, I respect them all. But football should be meritocracy. I am fighting against the Super League, the best clubs must compete in the major competitions, the same goes for the players. » From Rabiot to Balerdi, via Hojbjerg, Rongier or Greenwood, many executives are expected at kick-off.
The expected lineup for OM : De Lange – Murillo, Balerdi, Cornelius – Henrique, Hojbjerg, Rongier, Merlin – Greenwood, Maupay, Rabiot.
