“We must always be 100%, always on all fronts. The only thing that worries me: injuries. Overall, we have a really strong squad. » These words from Roberto De Zerbi still ring true this Saturday morning, the day after
the resounding victory of Olympique de Marseille in Nice (5-1).
Everything was not perfect in this restart match, OM sometimes left the ball and conceded a few situations, but the provisional leader of Ligue 1 has finally found the momentum which was its strength at the start of the season. And the Marseille club owes it to the emulation which keeps its players under pressure.
Despite the absences of Aguerd, Medina or Gouiri, De Zerbi’s team relied on the feedback of certain elements to release this beautiful copy on the Côte d’Azur.
When OM finds its players, OM finds color
There was the irremovable Mason Greenwood, obviously, double scorer and permanent danger. But there were everyone else, too. Like this astonishing Jeffrey de Lange, impeccable in his goals to ensure the interim without Rulli, or even Timothy Weah, restless, passer and scorer. Even captain Balerdi, also on his feet, showed a lot of authority, far from the shaky player who made a series of blunders at the end of the summer.
Very active on the transfer market, OM is counting above all on the return of its strong forces for the rest of this exciting season. The recruits are internal, in all lines. Just to remind you, as De Zerbi so often asserts, that this squad is well suited for high altitudes.
