After bringing down Newcastle at the Vélodrome, Olympique de Marseille was in fact hoping to do the same against Liverpool and consolidate their place in the play-offs. Unfortunately for Marseille fans, Roberto De Zerbi’s men lost heavily 3 goals to 0. OM will play their qualifier next week at Club Bruges, but the apathy of the Marseille players has annoyed some, including Eric Di Meco.
“How is it possible in a European Cup match that the libero, in this case Balerdi, takes the ball in his 18 meters and watches for 10 minutes who should be given it to? You give it to a player who will give it back to you… for two hours! Who does this? I’m told it’s the coach. Let’s imagine! But after ten minutes, when you see that there are three central defenders, including one who is useless, when you see that there is no one in the middle to set the pace, when you see that you have a crazy stadium… (…) It sleeps and the guys continue to sleep”he declared on RMC Sport.
