Monday evening, Roberto de Zerbi was particularly nervous. No doubt too much. The coach of Olympique de Marseille ended up being excluded in the additional time of the meeting against Paris Saint-Germain (1-0).
At first, the Italian technician had only received a yellow card. Then, referee Jérôme Brisard chose to make him turn red. In every sense of the word. After having insulted, it seems, the latter, “RDZ” lived the final moments of this classic in the stands of the Orange Vélodrome.
“Fortunately, Benatia calmed him a little because he was in full twist, estimated Daniel Riolo on RM wavesC. If this team wants to grow, with the quality of the players and the coach's game ideas, it absolutely must calm down. The problem is that I can't remember the last time I saw it calm. »»
Of Zerbi, too volcanic
And the sports journalist to continue in After Foot:
“It's as if everything was too much for him: the event is too big, the pressure he supports is too strong … He cannot do a season like that. Now he has players, enough to make a team, he has choices. It is necessary from time to time that he puts his brain in the fridge. He cannot make games without stopping with a pressure cooker instead of the brain. ”
Galvanized by OM's victory, the first for fourteen years at home against the Parisian rival,
Roberto de Zerbi made a provocative speech. It will be interesting to observe the management of your emotions during the next posters that his team will play.
