An XXL transfer window at the dawn of a season that will mark the return of theOlympique de Marseille In the Champions League: Year II of Roberto de Zerbi looks like a turning point in the recent era of the Marseille club.

After a very agitated first year in the field as outside, the Italian technician will have no more excuses. This is the point of view of Jean-Pierre Papin, club legend and called to express themselves on this 2025-26 exercise.

Roberto de Zerbi, OM coach.

“” If we look today at the club transfer window, I have rarely seen such a strong workforce. Of course in football, it is not because we stack names that it will make a big team. Now, it is Zerbi who will have the pressure compared to all this because he has a high -end workforce. ”

“If you lose a match, it must not be a disaster”

JPP advocates stability. “You have to stop discussing, give them time to work. Even if you're still losing a match, you shouldn't be a disaster either, “said the former scorer on RMC this week.

“You have great players, a large team, a quality workforce but now you have to take the time. The problem is that in football you never have time. But with such a workforce you can do beautiful things“Concluded the one who was still coach of the OM reserve team a few months ago.
