Roberto De Zerbi Relieved After Team’s Hard-Fought Victory

After three matches without a win across all competitions, Olympique de Marseille secured a victory against Auxerre, finishing 1-0. Despite being reduced to ten players after Garcia’s dismissal, Marseille scored with a goal from Angel Gomes and an impressive performance by Geronimo Rulli. Following the match, coach Roberto De Zerbi expressed relief amidst numerous injuries.

“It’s always tough at Auxerre and in Ligue 1. This year, especially for us, it’s even harder with injuries and players who have been heavily relied upon. The red card? I’m not sure, but I’m really pleased with how the players performed tonight. Playing so many matches with so many absentees, especially with Aguerd getting injured during warm-up, makes this even more valuable. The Vaz-Aubameyang duo? It was good, but to optimize their performance, we need better play behind them. We adapted to the flow of the match. That’s how it is.”
