Roberto de Zerbi did not really appreciate the behavior of his players after the defeat of OM in Rennes on Friday evening.
OM has started its season in Ligue 1 badly badly this Friday, beaten by Rennes to Roazhon Park with a goal from Ludovic Blas conceded in additional time (0-1). A start all the more frustrating and raging for the Marseillais as their Breton hosts were reduced to ten from the half hour of play, after a sole of the young Abdelhamid Aït Boudlal on Amir Murillo.
Inevitably, after such a wait and such a disappointment, the walls trembled in the locker room allocated to the Olympians. The Phocaean executives that are Leonardo Balerdi and Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg-not frankly the most prominent on Friday evening-passed a blower to their teammates. And the tone is seriously mounted between two players – Adrien Rabiot and Jonathan Rowe – bordering on physical altercation.

The past season already, OM's post-matches for some had been boiling. The documentary “without ever letting go”, currently broadcast on YouTube and whose last issue is expected this Sunday evening, testifies to these tense moments which were able to prove to be salvators in fine. But rarely in such proportions.
De Zerbi's cold anger
The staff had to intervene to calm the spirits, reports RMC. Sports director Medhi Benatia in particular played the peacemakers, like a Zerbi Roberto who insisted at length on three essential values in his eyes: identity, truth and respect. Repeated words afterwards at a press conference.
Faced with his players, the Italian technician has mostly split a firmer development: ” The others beat us on the field, and we come back and we hit here. Do you know what that means? That we have small balls. In Marseille, we must have big Relays the Phocaean this Saturday. And Roberto de Zerbi to conclude: “ This is the last time it happens! »»
