‘If we look at where we have come from last year, we can be happy’ – Roberto De Zerbi following Marseille win over Union Saint-Gilloise | OneFootball

Olympique de Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi was relieved after his side’s 3-2 win over Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise on Tuesday evening in the Champions League, which comes as OM’s third victory in six outings in Europe this season. Speaking at a press conference attended by Get French Football News, De Zerbi said “We had a very good first half and played well until the third goal.”“Then we started to lose control of the ball, we made some silly mistakes and conceded that second goal. Any normal person who has lost points at the end of a match on several occasions is bound to feel a little nervous, but it’s hard to win a Champions League match and I think we deserved the victory.”“The players were very tired in the dressing room, but if you look at the table, the teams that have more points than us have been in the Champions League every season for the last five, six or seven years… If you look at where we started last year, we can be happy.”Marseille are now well-armed going into their final two league phase outings against Liverpool and Club Brugge in January, currently sitting 16th in the UCL table level with Newcastle, Galatasaray, and fellow Ligue 1 side AS Monaco – who Les Phocéens face in Ligue 1 this weekend.
