This Sunday theOlympique Marseille will have the first big test of the season in the league ahead of them, namely the big away match against Lyon. The start of the season of the Phocaeans He was sensational, with 3 wins and a draw in 4 games played which allowed him to place himself in second place and only behind Luis Enrique’s PSG.
Moreover, Roberto De Zerbi, head coach of OM, had warned of his intentions, of wanting to question the hegemony of the Parisians in the championship and also the hiring of Adrien Rabiot he has shown it. An unexpected big shot that will powerfully strengthen the squad and even if he won’t take part in this weekend’s match, the former Brighton coach had a few words to say: “He can bring us his level of play and if he brings us his qualities, we can dream. The fans will be dreaming, but so will we. Without being presumptuous, it is by dreaming that we can get where we want. In life you have to dream, you don’t come to Marseille to have a monotonous life”, the words taken from Foot Market.
A certificate of esteem then goes to the managersthe true architects of the transfer of the former Juventus midfielder to the Velodrome: “Congratulations to Benatia. All the credit goes to him. He did it all by himself, finding the formula. Pablo (president Longoria, ed.) and Frank (McCourt, ed.) were very happy”, De Zerbi told the press. And on the contacts he had with Rabiot to convince him to sign: “I told him the truth. OM are not playing in the Champions League, but we have been working seriously since the start of the season. My goal is to bring OM back to its level. The fans say that OM is the most important club in France. I am obliged to do it.” That’s what I told him, but that’s what I tell all the recruits.
To see Rabiot in action, however, we will have to wait longer than this matchday of the championship.: “He needs 2 or 3 weeks to get back into shape. We don’t want to rush him too much and risk losing him. We already had a strong team, but with him the group has even more potential”, De Zerbi concluded. Therefore, doing some calculations, the Frenchman could play on October 4 against Angers or wait until the away match in Montpellier”.
