All the lights are green in the ranks of theMarseille Olympicfor two weeks, and Roberto De Zerbi hopes that they will remain so after this trip to Saint-Etienne… In great form in Ligue 1, OM are challenging the Greens in their Cauldron for their entry into the Coupe de France this Sunday ( kick-off at 2:45 p.m.).
For this last match of the calendar year, it would have been logical to see Roberto De Zerbi make a significant rotation. It won’t happen. According to the main person concerned, Marseille should present themselves with an extremely competitive eleven in Forez.
OM with its strong forces
“It is the best team that will play in Saint-Etienne, without giving gifts to those who have less playing time. It is the best players who must play, regardless of the match, the competition. I won’t make a change if it isn’t necessary.“, blurted De Zerbi.
“We care a lot about the Coupe de France. We know that OM have not won it since 1989. There is no difference between the Cup and the championship. The L1 certainly allows us to go to the Champions League, but the Cup is also very important for us”continued the Italian technician.
We can therefore expect an Olympian team structured around its core strengths. From Rulli in goal to Greenwood on the attacking front, via Rabiot, Højbjerg and even Rongier, the Marseille executives are expected. It will be interesting to see if De Zerbi intends to give Wahi some playing time and confidence, while Maupay, ex-Stéphanois, is ready to commit a bad turn to his former club…
