“Right now, we are in the wrong. When you are in the wrong, you must apologize in order to move forward. The Vélodrome is a mirror. A reflection of what you give on the field. Tomorrow, you have to be ready to receive whistles. That’s football. The difficult moment we can face as men by being angry. It hurts but you have to accept it and try to change things. » Roberto De Zerbi did not beat around the bush when discussing the negative dynamics of his team, on the eve of the clash between Olympique de Marseille and Stade Rennais in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France (kick-off at 9:10 p.m. this Tuesday).
Beaten sharply by Bruges (3-0) and eliminated from the Champions League before conceding a frustrating draw on the pitch of Paris FC this weekend (1-1), theOM
is going bad. A response is expected this Tuesday in a hostile atmosphere. And this match presents an all the more crucial issue as the oldest competition becomes a major objective to restore meaning to this final stretch of the season. But opposite, Stade Rennais is not doing much better. Like its evening host, the Breton club is on a slippery slope and experienced the last hours of the transfer window in total turmoil behind the scenes. Formerly of the house, Habib Beye will obviously be keen to set a trap for the club he attended the longest during his first life as a player. The stage is set.
The expected compositions
OM : Rulli – Balerdi, Aguerd, Medina – Weah, Højbjerg, Timber, Paixão-Greenwood, Gouiri, Nwaneri.
