This weekend, Olympique de Marseille found a place that he has long occupied during the season, that of Dauphin of Paris Saint-Germain. By atomizing (5-1) Montpellier during the 30th day of Ligue 1, the Marseille club has returned to AS Monaco.
In order to surf this good result and hang a qualification for the next Champions League, Roberto de Zerbi opted for a long greening of his group. A choice validated by the management embodied by Pablo Longoria and Medhi Benatia, but which does not escape controversy.
More generally, it is the lunatic attitude of the Italian technician who can disarray. “Sorry, but I have absolutely nothing to make statements of this kind. One week, he says he's there for years, the other opposite. He is happy, he sulks, he does the ultra. Qualify us in C1 and you will tell us about the Bello Calcio, but I have enough of that “, For example, wrote Marwan Belkacem on his X account.
Does Zerbi really want to stay at OM?
Last week, at a press conference, the former coach of Brighton made many supporters of the Phocaean club jump by starting a sentence by “if I stay” concerning his future at OM. On social networks and forums devoted to the club's news, they stressed that the use of the conditional was a disguised way of announcing its departure after a single season spent on the Olympian bench.
Roberto de Zerbi, who arrived in the Marseille city during last summer, is under contract until 2027 with OM. Supposed to be part of a long-term project, will he continue this adventure if his team does not qualify for the next Champions League?
