The first classic of the season turned to the advantage of OM. On September 22, Marseille won against PSG (1-0) in a boiling velodrome. A success acquired against a private Parisian team from several injured executives, which led some media to put into perspective Marseille performance by speaking of a “Paris B”.
This Friday, on the eve of the trip to Metz, Roberto de Zerbi wanted to restore certain truths. In front of the press, the Italian coach did not hide his annoyance in the face of the way in which this victory was welcomed. “When you have strong ambitions, expectations increase. We have to prove every day that we deserve. We are chaining the victories, we won against PSG ”first launched the Olympian coach, demanding more respect for his team.
To support his point, from Zerbi pointed out a blatant inconsistency. “” It was said that it was a Paris B or a Paris C against us, but this PSG went to win the match in Barcelona without the Barça managing to go in the opposing half in the second period “he recalled. One way to emphasize that Parisian absences did not prevent Luis Enrique's team from shine a few days later in the Champions League.
“They deserve more …”
De Zerbi therefore believes that his players deserve much more recognition. “I think we can say that our players have made a big game. They deserved more recognition than that shown by your colleagues (journalists) in Paris ”he insisted, defending beak and nails his men.
Building on this success in the classic, OM confirmed in stride by humiliating Ajax (4-0) in the Champions League. Third Ligue 1 to three points from PSG and OL, the Marseillais can continue to put pressure on their rivals in the event of a victory in Metz this Saturday.
