Olympique de Marseille suffered a frustrating defeat on the lawn of Real Madrid (1-2) this Tuesday in the Champions League. Despite everything, the vice-champions of France and their coach Roberto de Zerbi delivered an encouraging service and passed near the Indian sign.
Indeed, out of the last six coaches having played a meeting of the Queen of Europe competition with the Olympian club, none had managed to win his first match. This long list includes Didier Deschamps, Élie Baup, José Anigo, André Villas-Boas, Igor Tudor and Marcelino, to which the Italian technician is now added.
An 18 -year -old scarcity
You have to go back to the first season of Eric Gerets on the OM bench to find a success when entering the club in LDC. The sky and white won 1-0 against Liverpool in Anfield, one evening in October 2007, thanks to a superb strike from Mathieu Valbuena from outside the surface.
For their next match, the Phocaeans will rub shoulders with Ajax Amsterdam. An appointment scheduled for the Vélodrome on September 30 at 9 p.m.
