After OM's victory against PSG (1-0-5th day) on September 22, Roberto de Zerbi calmed the game at the post-match press conference. In the bowels of the Vélodrome stadium, the coach of the Marseille club had said that the most important meeting was as follows in Strasbourg. Victorious on September 26 in additional time in Alsace (1-2, 7th day), OM players heard the same speech by the Italian technician.
The priority is to turn immediately to the next deadline. A way to keep the troops focused and disciplined. To achieve its objectives, a place on the podium at the end of the season and at least a qualification for the knockout stages of the Champions League, OM must instill the culture of the win. So, not to miss this Friday in Metz to record a fourth consecutive victory, all competitions combined.
Roberto de Zerbi must compose without Facundo Medina, injured in the right ankle during the success Tuesday evening against Ajax in C1 (4-0). The Argentinian central defender will be distant for about two months. Faced with Lorrainers, the latter in the championship, the OM players would undergo a failure if they did not report the three points.
