In the aftermath of Marseille's significant defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, coach De Zerbi addressed the media with a visibly troubled demeanor. His team, once in a podium position, has now dropped to fourth in Ligue 1, overshadowed by Lyon's return to form. De Zerbi lamented the unpredictable nature of his squad's performance, noting that it has become increasingly difficult for him to gauge which players will show up for each match, highlighting his team's recent inconsistency with contrasting performances against various opponents.

De Zerbi reiterated his struggle to find explanations for the team's erratic showing, stating it is the greatest challenge he faces currently. He described the team's performance as a “roller coaster,” indicating the stark difference in energy and effectiveness displayed in their recent games. The coach specifically pointed out that certain players seemed to lack commitment during the match, using the phrase "the players have scattered" to convey his frustration over their soft approach in critical areas of the match.

The implications of this loss extend beyond just the immediate standings in Ligue 1, as Marseille's position in the league has become precarious with Lyon's resurgence. This situation puts additional pressure on De Zerbi to revamp his strategy and instill a sense of unity and purpose within the team as they aim to regain their competitive edge and secure a more stable place within the top-tier of French football.
