Even if Olympique de Marseille is still on the podium of Ligue 1 after 27 days, its bad dynamics do not encourage optimism. Indeed, the Marseille club remains on four defeats in five matches, three of which are consecutively.
According to Jérôme Rothen, Roberto de Zerbi is the main responsible for this situation. The Italian technician cannot only hide behind the mind of his players who would be too faulty. The management of his group is not controlled enough.
“When the series of results is not good, it's not just this reason. There was the elimination in the Coupe de France against Lille on penalties, the cattle defeat in Nice (2-0) with non-mats, Recalls the sports consultant on RMC. There should have been questions from De Zerbi, but he continued to trust the same team, with the same tactical device. But when you know the same difficulties against the same kind of teams, it's not just mental. »»
Of Zerbi, punishment is not the solution
After the defeat on the lawn at the Reims stadium, Roberto de Zerbi made radical decisions. The 45 -year -old coach summoned his whole team to the Commandery in order to spend the night before canceling the two days of rest initially planned in stride.
A method that the old left midfielder of PSG does not endorse.
“Punish them in the commandery, this is not the solution, Rothen protests. When you are a player, you know you haven't been good, but you don't expect you to hit your fingers. There is a way to explain things. He had this recipe on certain matches, but he must also bring it on the tactical level. He sweeps a little too in touch on these aspects. »»
