In 2024, when he arrived at
Marseille OlympicRoberto De Zerbi named Leonardo Balerdi captain. The Italian technician having left, the question of the identity of the wearer of the Marseille armband arises.
Especially since the Argentine central defender has not been flawless in recent weeks. Particularly during the last “Classique” at the Parc des Princes, where he experienced a nightmarish evening.
For his first match as OM coach, the Albiceleste international was suspended. The former Stade Rennais coach then chose to give the captain’s armband to Norwegian midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg for the trip to Brest on February 20.
Will Balerdi get his armband back?
Sunday evening, a crucial match awaits the Marseille club, in the closing match of the 24th day of Ligue 1. For the reception of Olympique Lyonnais, Will Leonardo Balerdi regain his status?
“We have a lot of leaders. I’m focusing on the three months we have left. Leadership must be embodied. He must shine on others. Leo is a very important player on the team. You’ll see tomorrow about the armband. Suspense is important,” replied Habib Beye this Saturday afternoon at a press conference.
