OM is in evil. The club suffered, last Saturday, a third consecutive defeat in Ligue 1, in Reims (3-1), the fourth in the last five games. After this underperformance, Roberto de Zerbi decided to sanction his players. He forced them to stay sleeping at the Commandery, OM training center on Saturday evening. RDZ even blew up the two days of rest planned for his men.
For Daniel Riolo, this management mode poses a problem and the Italian technician is mistaken in his management. “I think it's a mistake and everything about Zerbi for quite some time now is a mistake”explains the consultant. “We will have to talk about these buffer coaches, these journalists' coaches. I have always said good about him, I like him because they are speech coaches but you have to see how it connects ”he adds.
“It is not understood”
“Today, a coach is 80% management with a connection in the message. There is no more connection with Zerbi, there is a problem, it is not understood. And this story of greening… I spoke with a member of staff of a large team of Ligue 1 who explained to me that it is the last thing to do. Even after a defeat, give players two or three days of vacation, it can be a solution ”explains Daniel Riolo.
“The stick is over, it cannot have an effect. They did it once (an internship after defeat in Auxerre) But that doesn't mean it works all the time “he recalls. “The message does not pass”, insists the consultant who also wonders about the release of Adrien Rabiot against the lack of commitment of some of his teammates. “There is also a question to ask the release of Rabiot, Rongier also did it a little in his analysis”he says.
For Riolo: “Rabiot doesn't make a good game either, but above all, how will it be taken?” In what state is the locker room, which looked fantastic, to have such insipid services on the ground? “” In any case, OM who dreams of a qualifying place for the Champions League must get back on the right rails, and this, next weekend against Toulouse.
