The arrival of Roberto De Zerbi as OM coach, as well as that of high-level players, is perhaps turning too quickly into a frenzy.
After a chaotic 2023-2024 season, despite a semi-final in the Europa League, many Olympique de Marseille supporters are regaining hope. This optimism is largely linked to the arrival of Roberto Roberto De Zerbi as coach. In the process, players like Mason Greenwood and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg have joined the ranks of the Marseille club.
On RMC, Kévin Diaz joined the camp of the optimists. “I think that De Zerbi is a coach who was still desirable and wanted by a club like Marseille. Since Marcelo Bielsa, there have not been such exciting recruits in this position. When you see a player like Holjberg who arrives, it is also thanks to the stadium and the public. Without that, no one comes to OM”said the sports consultant.
Riolo sees Diaz as “the big naive”
An opinion that Daniel Riolo does not share. “Do you still think that De Zerbi came to Marseille just for the club’s status? Do you still believe in those sausages? Do you really think that OM is so attractive, when the club is not playing in the European Cup this season? That it’s good news is one thing, but then we have to confirm it. So you’re the big naive person who keeps the legends of the great promises made every summer alive. Isn’t it enough for you to get screwed over every year?”the divisive journalist responded very vehemently.
In the meantime, OM continues its preparation. The Marseille club followed up with a second win in a row in a friendly match last Saturday against Pau FC (3-0), a team that plays in Ligue 2. Three days earlier, they had dominated Toulon, by the same score.
