In a city where everything ignites a little faster than elsewhere, two large victories against Montpellier (5-1) and Brest (4-1) allowed Roberto de Zerbi to buy a little serenity for this final sprint. Second at the start of this 32nd day, theOlympique de Marseille must absolutely avoid a setback on the lawn of Lille, this Sunday evening (kick -off at 8:45 p.m.).
Could the context and the stake influence Roberto de Zerbi in his tactical reflection? It will be one of the great curiosities in the evening. Once again, the choices of the Italian will be scrutinized.
Zerbi's credit to OM is not unlimited.
The first question concerns the system. For long months, from Zerbi persevered with a diagram in 3-4-3, but the OM coach returned to a defense of 4 against Brest last Sunday. And this moult has borne fruit, as confirmed by Captain Leonardo Balerdi. “It was the idea of the coach, he had decided that. We were 100 % agree, I thought the same thing as him. You have to be a little more attention, be more attentive. I think he tried to put the players in the best conditions. »»
OM: Several options in defense and in the middle
Will from Zerbi renew this animation this Sunday? Nothing is to be excluded. Because LOSC will not offer the same opposition as Brest. And because Marseillais have automatisms in both systems.
The second question concerns the choice of men, especially in defense and in the middle, where De Zerbi will have several possible options. Bennacer applies to a tenure but the Hojbjerg-Rongier tandem could be renewed. Behind, it will be interesting to see who will support Balerdi. At the forefront, Greenwood and Rabiot will be lined up alongside man in the form of the moment, Gouiri, author of a fantastic hat-trick last Sunday.
