In a candid conversation with veteran journalist Guillem Balague, Roberto De Zerbi reflected on Olympique de Marseille’s recent form. The Italian coach, appointed last summer, addressed the squad’s uneven displays that have left the club hovering around the Ligue 1 mid‑table. He stressed the need for consistency ahead of the next match.

De Zerbi pointed to the defensive lapses that cost Marseille a 2‑1 defeat at home to Lyon last weekend, while praising striker Cédric Gouffran for his work rate. He highlighted the club’s investment in young talent, noting that integrating academy graduates could restore the attacking flair that defined the team under previous managers.

Looking ahead, De Zerbi expects the squad to regroup before the crucial clash with PSG, a fixture that could swing Marseille’s European qualification hopes. Supporters will be watching whether his tactical tweaks, particularly a more compact midfield, translate into points. Success this month may dictate the club’s trajectory for the remainder of the season.
