OM has changed its face in recent months: Aubameyang reveals De Zerbi’s tough demands!
Despite two consecutive defeats (1-2 against Sporting in the Champions League and then 1-2 against Lens), OM is finally showing a true face under Roberto De Zerbi. And Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 36, lifted the veil this Tuesday on what the Italian expects from his number 9.
“He wants us to be the first defenders,” Auba says. Intelligent pressing, no rushing in headfirst: “Disrupt the opponent’s build-up, always think.” And with the ball at his feet? No rest either: “Constantly offer solutions. A lot of movement, a lot of thinking, and always play accurately.”
A version of OM like Luis Enrique’s
A playing style that obviously recalls PSG and the new system implemented by Luis Enrique. Since Mbappé’s departure, all attackers are participating more in the game, as seen in the Champions League final, with Dembélé as the first defender. De Zerbi wants attackers who run, think, and orchestrate. Demanding, intense, total.
It remains to be seen if this “Auba 2.0” formula will allow OM to bounce back on Wednesday against Angers. A victory would be the best possible message.
