Olympique de Marseille conceded its fourth defeat in five games against Reims (3-1) this Saturday in Ligue 1.. A more than disappointing result for Phocaeans, now preceded in the ranking by Monaco, new runner-up of Paris Saint-Germain after its success against Nice (2-1).
This frustrating reverse pushed coach Roberto de Zerbi to react. The Italian technician made the decision to deprive his players of the two days of rest initially scheduled for Sunday and Monday. The entire Marseille group found itself at the Commandery to spend the night from Saturday to Sunday. A strong choice questioned by Daniel Riolo, journalist for
RMC.
“The stick is over, it can't have an effect”
“I think it's a mistake and everything about Zerbi for quite some time now is a mistake. Today, 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 ”judged the polemicist.
And Riolo to add: “And this green story … I spoke with a member of a staff of a large L1 team that explained to me that it is the last thing to do. Even after a defeat, giving players two or three days of vacation, it can be a solution. The stick is over, it can't have an effect. They did it once, but that doesn't mean it works all the time. The message does not pass. »»
