Olympique de Marseille has had an attractive start to the Ligue 1 season. And the Marseille club owes this in large part to its new coach Roberto De Zerbi.

The Italian manager is giving a new dynamic to the Olympian squad. His playing principles are for the moment being respected to the letter by his players.

At a press conference this Friday, the former Brighton player sent a beautiful declaration of love to one of his players who was not part of his plans when he had just put down his suitcases at the club.

Geoffrey Kondogbia is one of the most beautiful things I have seen at OM. At first, I did not count on him then I spoke with him on the phone and I had a good impression so I introduced him with us to training, “ he said to journalists. Words that the person concerned must certainly appreciate.

Starter in the last two matches

Geoffrey Kondogbia has turned the situation around. Not in Roberto De Zerbi’s plans for the first league match against Stade Brestois, the 31-year-old midfielder is now an unshakeable player in the Marseille midfield.

The Central African international was a starter in the club’s last two outings against Stade de Reims and Toulouse FC. The former AS Monaco player also scored valuable points in these matches. It is highly likely that he will once again feature in his coach’s starting 11 against OGC Nice this Saturday as part of Matchday 4.
