Training OM is anything but a long, quiet river.

Roberto DeZerbi is the “privileged” witness.

The Italian technician is regularly the subject of criticism. However, the Marseille club is still on the podium in Ligue 1, on the third step, and seems well on its way to reaching the Champions League play-offs.

This Friday, the coach of
Marseille Olympic made things clear. “Criticism, past and future, will never make me change my way of working or my desire to stay at this club. Both those coming from the radios, from former players or criticism to harm the club”he explained at a press conference.

De Zerbi faces criticism

And De Zerbi continues: “The criticism from certain people who are bothered by the fact that I am Italian will change absolutely nothing about what I think of Marseille and OM. Critics won’t scare me away, quite the contrary.”

Saturday evening, OM will travel to Angers for the 18th day of Ligue 1. An imperative victory for Leonardo Balerdi and his teammates before two matches which promise to be complicated, against Liverpool in the Champions League and the leader Lensois in the championship.
