We could summarize Amine Harit’s position, without getting too tired, with the simple formula “You don’t change a winning team”. Following the adage, the OM coach has little interest in putting the Moroccan midfielder back into an eleven reinvigorated by three consecutive victories, Marseille’s best series since the start of the season.
We do not know if Roberto de Zerbi is also a follower of the expression “He who goes hunting, loses his place” but he obviously counts, he says, on the talent of Amine Harit, who returned to the group of OM after an unfair expulsion on October 27 against PSG (0-3 – 9th day of Ligue 1), and a calf injury.
Höjbjerg-Rongier-Rabiot barely
The Italian coach spoke about the situation of the 27-year-old player, Friday on the eve of OM-Lille, one of the posters for the 15th day of the Championship which ended with a
frustrating draw for the Marseillais (1-1). “ We played with Greenwood and Rabiot in attacking midfielders, but we can also reposition Greenwood on the right to play Harit,” De Zerbi explained at a press conference, cited by The Phocaean.
The little puzzle is there. Managing to reintegrate Amine Harit into the midfield while the Höjbjerg-Rongier-Rabiot trio gave satisfaction to Roberto de Zerbi. Since the three players started together for the first time, during the victory at Lens (1-2), OM have won each time (Monaco then at Saint-Etienne). And maintained this invincibility in front of the Mastiffs. Amine Harit remained on the bench.
It’s not De Bruyne but…
The Marseille coach believes that there is “ still a lot of tactical possibilities to exploit,” other than the replacement of Mason Greenwood, to make room for the former Schalke 04 and Nantes player. In any case, he assures: “
Harit was decisive in several matches, and his return to form is very good news for the team. »
It would probably be detrimental for OM if the Moroccan’s technical quality and sense of passing were not exploited. Number 10s are becoming rare. Amine Harit has what it takes.
