Two defeats in three games, three small points and shortcomings at all levels: the start of the season of theOlympique de Marseille is very disappointing. The first international rally of the year will allow the Marseille club to put the double bites to definitively return to its season.
On Sunday, OM still displayed its limits in Olympico against its Lyon rival. In addition to the result (0-1 defeat), the Roberto de Zerbi team delivered a disturbing performance, with a completely missed start to the match and great difficulties on defensive transitions.

Plusted by the rapid expulsion of the young CJ Egan-Riley, OM paradoxically reacted during the period of numerical inferiority, with a much more defensive approach and some interesting situations against. An approach that Roberto de Zerbi cannot endorse.
“Not the right mentality when you want to play in a big club”
“I agree with you, especially after the expulsion. We suffered more than them even if, in the end, they do not necessarily have many opportunities. At 10 against 11, it was always the case even if we could have deserved a little more on this meeting ”, launched OM coach.
“We have not conceded many opportunities, even ten against eleven. But you need courage and personality. If we think that we can curl up five behind, it is not the right mentality when you want to play in a big club ”, concluded the Italian technician. The message has passed.
