Olympique de Marseille struck hard upon entering Ligue 1. For their first match of the season, the Marseille team, managed by Roberto De Zerbi, inflicted a heavy defeat on Stade Brestois, winning 5-1 on their home turf.
This performance marks an excellent start for the Italian coach and his players, with Mason Greenwood and Luis Henrique each scoring twice, while Elye Wahi sealed the victory with the final goal for the Olympians. A particularly satisfying result for Leonardo Balerdi, the Marseille central defender. Speaking to beIN SPORTS, the Argentinian shared his impressions after the match.
“We still miss him…”
“We started well. We scored all the goals we could score. We celebrated with the fans because they are always there. We are happy. We are ready. We have to move forward match by match, we have to keep working. We still need a few little things to be even better.”he judged.
Provisionally at the top of the standings, OM will host Reims next Sunday at the Vélodrome for the second day of the championship.
