The time is serious at OM. The defeat in Reims last Saturday against a team that had not won in Ligue 1 for almost five months, set fire to the powder. More than ever, the dialogue seems to be broken between the bubbling Roberto de Zerbi and a Marseille cloakroom who does not lack experiences of experience and character.
This Thursday, the Team throws a pavement in the pond by revealing the ubiquitous scenario of the day of Monday at the Commandery, two days after the Champagne fiasco. “” I will not train you today “, Would have launched the Italian technician to interlocked Olympians and first incredulous. The anger, however, was not long in bursting into the workforce.
“” We will not go on the field then “, Finally replied the players, in an impinator bordering on the mutiny which is reminiscent of the improbable episode of the Knysna bus, during the 2010 World Cup and the shameful sinking of the Blues of Raymond Domenech in South Africa. A fire finally turned off in extremis by the sports director Medhi Benatia.
“We will all fail together”, plague of Zerbi
Already the day before, the atmosphere was heavy. Roberto de Zerbi had wanted to hold back late his flock from the training center, drying them a scathing: ” I never see my family. So you are not going to see yours either ». A message that inevitably went wrong and was able to feed resentment and misunderstanding.
“” Do you want to make me fail? So we're going to fail all together “, Would have added the Transalpine strategist on Monday, exasperated by the detachment of some of its elements. After the reverse against Auxerre at the Vélodrome last November, Roberto de Zerbi had already lost his nerves and violently drove his troops. This time, the clash went even further. And the damage could be irreversible.
