Between the ascents of the Zerbi project, which bring the Marseille people back into the dreams of greatness and the euphoria of the victories, and the dizzying descents towards unexpected crisis situations, this opus was not easy. And especially for the coach, Roberto de Zerbi, who again adopts a speech filled with distrust: <i>&#8220;If I had to stay here next year, and if I was brought me players who adapt to a 4-2-3-1, which is my favorite system, I will play&#8221;<\/i>. The use of this conditional relaunches a new subject of tension on the side of Marseille\u2026<\/p>\n<h2>The pressure of the result<\/h2>\n<p>If OM tenses so much and so often, it is because the pressure is immense. Zerbi&#39;s project, funded by Frank McCourt, can only hold one condition: qualify in the Champions League. The calculations are simple for the president, Pablo Longoria. Without a ticket for the Champion&#39;s League, the club accounts will be in the red and it will not be possible to continue the current project. This pressure of the result is huge four days from the end.<\/p>\n<p>\n<span data=\"1_3\"\/><\/p>\n<h2>McCourt will not make any gifts<\/h2>\n<p>Convinced to invest in the project led by Roberto de Zerbi, Frank McCourt posed his conditions. After giving the pot on several occasions, the American billionaire no longer wants to make madness. Without European Cup, OM will be in financial difficulty again. McCourt will ensure the rear of the club to complete the accounts in good and due form. But he will &#8220;reimburse himself&#8221; on the sale of important players this summer to compensate for the absence of a Champions League. And OM will start again, &#8220;zero&#8221; &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\n<span data=\"1_4\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<span class=\"article_news_author\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Organization\">&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Jos\u00e9 Garcia\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] If OM fails to qualify in the Champions League, the club&#39;s economic situation will be more than problematic.
