In an interview given to Provence, Ismaël Bennacer returned to the very tense period encountered by OM, and the sanctions decided by Roberto de Zerbi.
Relief. After three losses in a row and a tense week, OM found a smile last Sunday by dominating Toulouse (3-2) to consolidate its second place in Ligue 1.. A success that will have to be confirmed this Saturday in Monaco (5 p.m.) to hunt the clouds a little more and turn the page for a tense period.
Furious with the defeat in Reims (3-1), Roberto de Zerbi had raised his tone and decided to sanction his players, who had to spend an entire night and the next day at the Commandery. An episode that made a lot of talk, but that Ismaël Bennacer wanted to qualify in an interview given to Provence.
“It allowed me to create even more links with the other players. We stayed together at the training center. The coach asks us only one thing: to tear everything up on the field and to wear this logo, this club, this city, this city. He does not ask for anything else. When we do not want enough matches, it is the first affected,” said the Algerian international, arrived this winter from AC Milan.
“I spent Eid with the team, it was good too”
No fracture, therefore, between the Italian volcanic coach and his group. “We tried to die the abscess if there was one to die. We are all on the same boat and we go in the same direction,” said Bennacer. As explained by RMC Sport, De Zerbi's decision to make his players stay at the training center had been able to create a lot of tensions, especially among Muslim players who were to celebrate Eid and the end of Ramadan with their loved ones.
Faced with the discontent of some, the Olympian coach had replied that he too made sacrifices and was far from his family. “No player was annoyed. I spent Eid with the team, it was too, but we were all disgusted by defeat. It's like that, it's part of the work,” Bennacer underlined with Provence.
