OM: Saint-Etienne, a good test for Balerdi – Football

Without a shaker, Marseille was logically impossible on the pitch of Saint-Etienne (2-0) and became champion. OM mastered their subject against a clearly inferior Saint-Etienne team who only shot three times on goal. Nevertheless, central defender Leonardo Balerdi (25 years old, 11 matches in L1 this season) this time meeting allowed the Marseille rearguard to reassure themselves in terms of concentration.

« An easy victory? No, I don’t think so. We did what we had to, but we had to put in a lot of effort. It’s difficult too, even when you have a lot of control over the match, you have to stay attentive for 90 Minutes It was a good test for us, the defenders, in terms of concentration,” said the OM captain in the mixed zone.

The Marseillais have not had a clean sheet since their Victor Montpellier (5-0) on October 20.
