Like a desire to set the record straight. Present at a press conference on the eve of the match against FC Metz (Saturday, 5 p.m.), Roberto de Zerbi returned to the recent OM news, while dropping a small spike in the French media landscape.
Victorious of Ajax Amsterdam for its first at the VĂ©lodrome in the Champions League (4-0) last Tuesday, but also and especially during the classic against Paris (1-0) on September 22, Olympique de Marseille confirms its good condition and chains the victories this season.
But while a question was asked to the Italian tactician concerning his new workforce, especially in the midfield after the departures of Valentin Rongier and Adrien Rabiot in the summer, Roberto de Zerbi did not seem to really appreciate the treatment that was reserved for his team during success against PSG. He notably regrets the lack of recognition of certain media towards his team, victorious from a Paris Saint-Germain lessened by injuries.
De Zerbi claims “a little more respect”
Like any football lover, the Italian was in front of his television during the shock of the second day of the Champions Barça-PSG League. The only difference that De Zerbi still remembered the comments issued by the press concerning the notable absences of the Parisian club. “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. You could think that it was Paris B or C and in the end they will play in Barcelona and they win the match without Barça succeeding in going through the opposing half in the second half. »»
According to him, minimizing Marseille victory does not have to be. On the contrary. “So I think we can still say that our players have made a very big match. I think your Parisian colleagues could have had a little more respect for what was said and really appreciated the effort that had been made. »»
