Three days after its ugly defeat against Atalanta Bergamo (1-0) in the Champions League, Olympique de Marseille was smiling again on Saturday. Taking advantage of the visit of a harmless Stade Brestois, the Ciel et Blanc scored another card in Ligue 1, winning 3-0 thanks to Angel Gomes, Mason Greenwood and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Roberto De Zerbi did not shy away from his pleasure at the end of the meeting. “We knew how to accelerate the game when necessary, keep the ball when necessary, and attack vertically at the right time. We created a lot of chances and conceded very few,” he underlined, adding: “Today, in content, we had a big match. I had fun from the bench. »
Roberto De Zerbi unusually calm
Usually very agitated on the sidelines, the Italian technician nevertheless appeared particularly calm. This is evidenced by his attitude after the second goal scored from the penalty spot by Mason Greenwood. The former midfielder not only failed to celebrate the England striker’s achievement, but even appeared somewhat sulky.
On several occasions since the start of the season, Roberto De Zerbi has been singled out for his overly volcanic attitude. Behavior that would harm its analysis. “For me, he is too invested, he is too much in his match, he is too much of a supporter, he is practically a player, he is everything at the same time except a coach, and therefore his analytical mind is completely biased, recently confided Lionel Charbonnier, the former goalkeeper of the France team.
He would do better to go up, gain altitude, look a little, be less, less, less active on his side of the field. So, many love it: “Yeah, it’s great, it’s the spirit of Marseille.” But for me, whether it’s visual, or even, it would do him good, because he would be seated, he would gain height, he would have more of this analytical mind. »
