Ten years after the Marcelo Bielsa era, Roberto De Zerbi seems to be following in the footsteps of the legendary Argentine technician. With 30 points in 15 days and a formidable attack, the Italian’s OM displays statistics similar to those of the famous 2014-2015 season.
The most successful attack since Bielsa
With 32 goals scored this season, Olympique de Marseille achieved its best offensive record in ten years, equaling the record of Bielsa’s team. If OM struggles at the Vélodrome (9 points in 7 matches, 14th team in Ligue 1 at home), they excel away with 7 victories in 8 away games, an impressive statistic which more than compensates.
A rise in power under De Zerbi
Arriving this summer with a largely renewed squad, Roberto De Zerbi was able to impose his mark with a hybrid 3-4-3 system, combining ball control and verticality. The Italian technician, however, remains cautious: “I just want to win the matches that come. » With an affordable schedule until the break, OM could further improve their performances and revive the hope of a memorable season for Marseille supporters.
