‘I looked at the stats, and we need to dribble more’ – Roberto De Zerbi on improving Marseille | OneFootball

Can Marseille line-up any more offensively? This was a question asked of Roberto De Zerbi on Friday afternoon during a press conference attended by Get French Football News. The Italian boss highlighted that he thinks Marseille could improve offensively, but that his side needs to try more dribbles – after looking at the stats. “At Paris, the choice of Amar Dedic and Quentin Merlin was an offensive choice, because you have one that manages to dibble and pass very well and another who can also drive up the pitch, but their passing is a little less refined.”“I think that we don’t dribble enough, I looked and we are one of the last teams in the league in terms of dribbling. That surprised me because in Serie A, or at Brighton, we were one of the best in the league. I need to adapt to the characteristics of the players however, but for example when Adrien Rabiot makes those attacks in behind we can be really really dangerous.” OM head to Stade de Reims tomorrow with the goal of trying to react to a 3-1 loss against PSG just before the international break. With Champions League rivals playing each other, it comes as the perfect opportunity for Les Phocéens to further consolidate their second spot and their bid for Champions League football by the end of the season.GFFN | George Boxall – Reporting from Marseille.
