While Olympique de Marseille appears in second place in Ligue 1, Roberto de Zerbi is not among the five nominated coaches for the UNFP trophies. Regarding players, only goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli represents the Marseille club in one of the four main categories.
For Pierre Ménès, there is no scandal to scandal. “I don't have to find it logical. I don't care. Now, let's remember the start of the season when we thought that OM could compete with a PSG diminished by the departure of Kylian Mbappé, and we find ourselves three days from the end where we do not know if OM will be in the Champions League. And it's serious! »»judged the sports journalist in a video posted on his YouTube channel.
Indeed, three days before the end of the championship, OM is in a precarious posture despite its place as Dauphin of Paris Saint-Germain. Five of his pursuers (Lille, Monaco, Lyon and Nice) are still able to double Adrien Rabiot and his teammates in the standings.
De Zerbi, principal responsible for a scheduled failure?
“It's serious for the club from a financial point of viewinsists the former sniper of the Canal Football Club.
And it's still a sporting failure. I am sorry but the workforce of OM as soon as it was built must end quietly second in this league 1. And if it did not get there, it is also the fault of Zerbi which did not necessarily always make the right choices and which stubbornly in a tactic which was not always adapted. »»
According to OPTA, OM still has almost one in two chance of finishing the 2024-2025 financial year in second place, Sunday May 18 in the evening, the date of the 34th and final day. On Sunday, the closing match of the 32nd day between Lille and Marseille at the Pierre Mauroy stadium looks already decisive.
