‘We have to decide who we want to be’ – Roberto De Zerbi frustrated as Marseille let victory slip to Angers

Olympique de Marseille and Roberto De Zerbi were once again frustrated after letting a late lead slip to Angers SCO (2-2) and missing a golden chance to move to the top of the Ligue 1 table. The Italian tactician said to the media that Les Phocéens “have to decide who we want to be,” following the draw which compounded two straight defeats against Lens and Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League.

“We have to decide who we want to be: the team that played against PSG, or one that changes depending on the weather, whether it’s sunny or raining,” said De Zerbi at the Stade Vélodrome and transcribed by RMC Sport.

Despite a second-half brace from Robinio Vaz (52’, 70’), Ousmane Camara equalised in the 96th minute to rescue a point for the hosts. The result leaves OM third in Ligue 1 with 19 points, behind Monaco (20) and leaders PSG (21), who had earlier been held 1-1 by Lorient.

Angers had taken the lead through Sidiki Cherif in the 25th minute, but Marseille responded strongly after the break, seemingly on course for a key win. However, familiar late-game fragilities reappeared — De Zerbi’s side have now dropped points in consecutive matches following last weekend’s 2-1 defeat to Lens.
