For the past few days, Roberto de Zerbi has liked to repeat that he has a strong workforce. And you have to believe that the Italian technician has decided to join the acts to the words. Because his Olympique de Marseille has found its cruise rate by relying on real emulation.
If the animation evolves little, from Zerbi varies in the choices of men, confirming his desire to play the competition card. This will still be the case for the reception of Ajax Amsterdam on Tuesday in the Champions League.
Roberto de Zerbi, OM coach.
The eleven aligned against the legendary Dutch club should be radically different from that concocted against Strasbourg on Friday (2-1). In front of the irremovable Rulli, Benjamin Pavard and Emerson Palmieri are expected to return to a defensive line also composed of Nayef Aguerd and Facundo Medina.
Greenwood also back
In the midfield, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg could be supported by Matt O'riley and Angel Gomes, while Timothy Weah would retain his role as a hybrid attacker.
Finally, in front, Mason Greenwood will also make his return to the starting eleven, in the same way as Pierre-Emerick Aubamyang, replacement and scorer when he entered Alsace.
The expected composition For OM ::
Rulli – Pavard, Aguerd, Medina, Emerson – Højbjerg, O'riley – Greenwood, Gomes, Weah – Aubameyang.
