If Leonardo Balerdi hoped to take advantage of the international break to revive, it is missed. Pointed by for his repeated mistakes with Olympique de Marseille, the Argentinian defender experienced a new complicated evening on Wednesday, on the occasion of the movement of Albiceleste in Ecuador.
While Argentina concluded its qualifying campaign with a 1-0 defeat, the former Boca Juniors player has indeed been guilty of several positioning errors, one of them leading to the exclusion of Nicolas Otamendi in the first period. Enough to assert a new series of violent criticisms.
And his return to the Marseille city should not give him a smile. While Olympique de Marseille has an appointment this Friday with Lorient at the opening of the 4e Ligue 1 day, Leonardo Balerdi should indeed start the meeting on the bench. And his late selection return is not the only explanation for this ban.
Change of captain at OM?
The Argentinian central defender pays for his failure start to the season but also the XXL and white XXL recruitment in central defense. Three summer recruits should start in defense: Benjamin Pavard and Nayef Aguerd, landed in the last hours of the transfer window, and Facundo Medina, back from injury.
Former OM player, Marc Libbra is also campaigning so that Roberto de Zerbi removes the armband from Leonardo Balerdi. “” OM has made it its captain and emblematic player, but he was in danger on the first three games. Maybe they were wrong about the identity of the captain and perhaps Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg can take the armband. Perhaps also the Balerdi's over-shot and leads it to make mistakes ”, he said in the columns of Provence.
