The defeat of the Olympique de Marseille against Monaco on the score of 3-0 revived questions about the sustainability of Roberto De Zerbi at the head of the team. This counter-performance, part of a series of nine defeats in Ligue 1, seriously undermines Marseilles’ ambitions to qualify for the Champions League. Journalist Nabil Djellit strongly criticized the coach’s tactical choice, including his insistence on aligning a defence to three, and raised the question of whether De Zerbi still has the legitimacy and skills to lead OM towards its goals.

The journalist’s analysis extends beyond the mere defeat, pointing to a lack of pressing of the first line and pointing to the contrast between the potential of the workforce, judged superior to that of the predecessors Tudor and Marcelino, and the results obtained. The team is perceived as overestimated, both in its performance and in its approach, and the current situation threatens access to the Champions League, a key objective for the club. Defensive problems, exacerbated by the absences and unsatisfactory performance of some players, further complicate the situation.
