Olympique de Marseille has been taken for a few weeks in a negative spiral. Mason Greenwood and his family are thus on three losses in a row in Ligue 1, including a last pitifully conceded Saturday on the lawn of the Stade de Reims (3-1, 27th day). A team that had not won in the championship for fifteen days. What make Roberto de Zerbi furious who decided to sanction his players. And this decision reacted.
The Italian coach prohibited Phocaeans from returning home after returning to Marseille. The whole group was asked to stay sleeping at the commandery. The two days of rest initially granted were finally removed and the group found itself on Sunday morning for training. The same program was also planned for this Monday. So many sliced choices on the part of Roberto de Zerbi which would involve a big risk, according to Raymond Domenech.
The chain consultant The team gave his opinion on the subject. And for him, the Marseille coach is a bit lost:
“Honestly, I think yes. (…) The worst part is when he returns from the plane and forced them to sleep at the commandery. It is a catastrophic idea. (…) It's counterproductive. »»
A double -edged sanction?
And the former coach of the French team to put themselves in the place of OM players. “They will have no mood. They will say nothing. But they have it there … it will not have the positive effect as he can imagine. »» The annoyance is in any case present in certain elements of the team, like an Adrien Rabiot who pushed a big rant just after the match, deploring the lack of involvement of some of his partners.
After this setback, Marseille lost its second place and is now in third place in the Ligue 1 ranking, a point behind the Monegasque dolphin. Behind, the pressure is also stronger since between OM and Lyon (7th), there are only four points apart.
