De Zerbi: OM Must Respond with Pride vs. Union SG

This Monday at a press conference, Roberto De Zerbi said he expected his team to redeem itself in the Champions League after its poor results in the league.

Roberto De Zerbi, the OM coach, said Monday that he hoped to see his team redeem itself from the match lost on Friday in Lille, during its trip to the Union Saint-Gilloise on Tuesday in the Champions League.

“Defeats pass like victories. We talk about it, we analyze it. Then we leave them behind and move on to the next match. We try to prepare as best we can”summed up De Zerbi about the 1-0 defeat conceded to Lille. “Tomorrow we have a very, very important match. For qualification and to redeem myself from this bad match, perhaps the worst since my arrival in Marseille.he added.

The Italian technician then returned to the two faces regularly presented by his team, sometimes very attractive and sometimes very disappointing. “We must not be satisfied with the positive, but also see the negative and try to improve that. This is how we will progress and stop having two faces. It is with the habit of being at the highest level, of not being satisfied with what we have, that we will be able to see further”he explained.

“In Marseille, you have to open your umbrella when the weather is nice. Because after our victory against Newcastle, we only took one point. And I think it’s more mental than physical.said De Zerbi. “I expect a reaction of pride, yes. But I was already expecting him in Lille after the draw against Toulouse. But we have two faces and sometimes the wrong one comes out. We try to avoid that”concluded the OM coach.
