After OM’s heavy 3-0 defeat to Liverpool, Roberto De Zerbi was extremely critical of his players in the post-match press conference. The Marseille coach pointed to his team’s mindset and the poor performances of some individuals, saying they played badly and conceded a silly opening goal.
He felt the first half was relatively even but that his side failed to understand where the danger was coming from, especially around Pavard, which led to unnecessary turnovers and missed opportunities to play out from the back.
