This is not how Olympique de Marseille wanted to approach this very important clash with Atalanta Bergamo, Wednesday evening, during the 4th day of the Champions League.
Roberto De Zerbi announced the bad news regarding Nayef Aguerd, Leonardo Balerdi, Bilal Nadir and Timothy Weah, whose returns were planned for this week. “None of the four have recovered”quickly evacuated the Marseille coach this Tuesday at a press conference.
De Zerbi fronts for OM
By adding Geoffrey Kondogbia, Amine Gouiri, Facundo Medina, Hamed Junior Traoré and the suspension of Emerson, that does a lot for OM. And obviously, this is far from pleasing the Olympian coach.
“In your opinion, am I happy to play a Champions League match with 8-9 injured players? In the analyses, everything must be considered, replied De Zerbi, in comments relayed by RMC. Great things are often done with difficulty, like in Auxerre. The sun will return when all those who are hurt return. It will be a little easier. It’s a tough time, so you have to be a little meaner and more determined. » The message has gotten through.
