At the end of the victory of Olympique de Marseille over the lawn of Le Havre (3-1) this Saturday in Ligue 1, the Marseille club validated one of its major objectives by winning its qualification for the Champions League. However, Roberto de Zerbi's men remain to consolidate their status as a Dauphin du Paris Saint-Germain on the last day, opposite the Rennais stadium, on May 17.
At Dazn's microphone, the Italian technician returned to his relationship with the Marseille group throughout the season. Indeed, if for his first on the OM bench, of Zerbi crossed many turbulence, he has never lost the support of his players.
De Zerbi puts things clear
“It's not over, we want to finish 2nd. But it is difficult to l1 ”, said the former manager of Brighton. “How many developments have we made in our game?” How many players have we changed? How many problems have we had to exceed? How difficult it is in Marseille? I think we did something very big. The impact of the internship? I believe that the coach must understand the determining moments in a season. At the start of the season, it was hard to play the velodrome, the ball was hot, we trembled a little, it was hard. We talked about it. The goal was to stay together, to be united, without putting football above all. We put other things, we spent great moments together. We trained less, but we worked a lot on the Union of the team and it was seen on the field. We saw a family and with that, we are more likely to win. »»
De Zerbi also responded to rumors of a rebellion in the cloakroom of the sky and white. “(…) That's also why we did this internship in Italy. It was not true that the players were against me, it hurt me. There has never been a mutiny, problem ”he said.
