A 3-0 defeat to Louis II, Saturday April 12, and Olympique de Marseille is delighted its dolphin place by the Monegasques. A descent in the rankings and a fourth defeat in five games which does not worry about Zerbi, still optimistic at a press conference on the European claims of his team.
OM slap in Louis-II. The Marseillais were upgraded by AS Monaco (3-0), this Saturday, for the shock of this 29 day of the championship. A fourth defeat in five games, and Olympique de Marseille is dismissed from its Dauphin place by Monaco.
Despite a largely in their favor (more than 60%), the men of Roberto de Zerbi fell in this meeting, however crucial for the race for Europe. Behind a rebuilt central hinge (no central profession with the absence of Balerdi), Geronimo Rulli was particularly requested in Louis-II (10 parades in total), before flanch three times in front of Takumi Minamino (34th), Breel Embolo (58th), and Denis Zakaria on penalty (82nd).
“I am optimistic when I see our first half”
“I have always said my truth, we are still alive and present to fight. We have great possibilities to qualify in the Champions League. The other teams have direct confrontations. It will be the team that wants the most who go to the Champions League and I know that my players absolutely want it,” tried to reassure Roberto de Zerbi in a press conference, after the meeting, when the meeting will meet 5 Qualification in the Champions League. Five games including two shocks against Brest and Lille after the reception of Montpellier next weekend.
“If you ask me for the analysis of the result, we would have deserved better. In the first half we played very well. We played better than them. We did not take any risks. We had the opportunity to score. At 1-1 at half-time, it would have been different,” insisted the Marseille coach with, in his viewfinder, the too crossed flywheel of Luis Henrique (42nd), who fished.
“The players? Nothing to blame them, they played well”
Despite the debacle, the Italian technician still tried to protect his players at a press conference, as if to return to this broken confidence in recent weeks. Nothing to reproach his men “who had prepared the match well, there is nothing to say. When this is the case, I say, sometimes in a strong way but they played well”, even if he regrets having conceded “a first stupid goal”. A double parade by Rulli, well out of his line, in front of a helpless defense, which ultimately offers the ball to Minamino (34th). An error that “arrives too often” to OM this season has confessed to the Marseille coach.
“I remain optimistic, more than after certain defeats and even certain victories that we had this season”, tempered Zerbi against journalists after the rout of his men to Louis II.
The Olympian porter, Geronimo Rulli, came out of his hinges after a meeting where he was extremely asked and almost abandoned by his central hinge. “It's very hard because it was an important match for our season. I think we did things badly. I don't know how to explain it. In these moments, we have to work. We're going to eat shit this week before playing Montpellier, in front of our supporters and we have to win”, dropped Rulli to Bein Sport microphones before being joined in his words, in his words.
“It is up to us to get out of it like men. I have not felt a sufficient team, but if we lose 3-0 it is that we did a lot of things anyway … We will be silent. We will go back to work, on Monday. We have five games left,” concluded the Marseille midfielder.
Geoffrey Kondogbia, he slowed down the ardor of his teammates in the mixed zone: “We are not worried … We have taken a lot of goals recently certainly but we still have our destiny in our hands. We play the blows and we will do the accounts”, reacted Kondogbia before leaving Louis II, as an echo of the optimist posted by De Zerbi.
