Roberto De Zerbi is the new strong man at Olympique de Marseille. The Italian manager chose to join the Marseille club this summer to everyone’s surprise. From his first steps, the former Brighton player imposed his style and his vision of football.

A way of working and playing principles that are not easy to instill. According to reports from the newspaper l’Équipe, former Brest defender Lilian Brassier had a complicated start with the De Zerbi method. The Italian coach would have pointed the finger at him by saying that a young player from the training center better understood his ideas of play. “Do you see him? He has been with us for 3 days, but he understands my instructions better than you have for three months,”

he would have said to his defender.

Big match day forMarseille Olympic. This Saturday evening, as part of the 15th day of Ligue 1, OM hosts Lille OSC at the Stade Vélodrome in a match that promises to be spectacular and indecisive.

Second in the standings with 29 units, the Marseillais can distance themselves from the Mastiffs in the event of a victory and put pressure on Paris Saint-Germain in the standings who face Olympique Lyonnais this Sunday evening. But De Zerbi’s men will have to be wary of Lille who are impressing at the start of the year (LOSC are 4th with 26 points).
