On Saturday night, Marseille coached by Dezelby defeated Le Havre 3-1 away, successfully locked in the top three in the league and ensured his qualification for the Champions League next season.

The Marseille coach and players celebrated wildly with the fans of our team who came from afar. Dezelby's performance was particularly crazy. He rushed into the crowd of fans of our team and even raised a burning rod, which was also very popular among Marseille fans. After the game, Dezelby said in an interview with DAZN TV: "I was born a loyal fan." Dezelby was a Brescia fan when he was a child, but he was grateful to AC Milan for the growth environment he provided for him and was also a loyal and loyal man. According to him, he also rejected Inter Milan for this reason.

In France, Marseille is the most craziest city, and Dezelby's temperament is very consistent with this place. He said: "I am very happy for the players, clubs, fans and Marseille, a city born for football."

There is one round left in the Ligue 1, with Marseille second-placed 62 points, Monaco third-placed 61 points, and the three teams Nice, Lille and Strasbourg each earned 57 points. Therefore, no matter what the final round of Marseille and Monaco are, they will definitely enter the Champions League next season. But Dezelby said the season is not over and he hopes the team secures the runner-up position in the final game against Rennes.

Marseille will go to Rome for closed training in late April. Players can only return to France on the weekend of the Ligue 1 game, and then get a brief reunion with their families after the game, and then go to Rome for closed training. This is an important decision made by Dezelby at the end of the season. The reason is not the tension between him and the team as reported by the media before, but rather that he believes that the Marseille training base is too "penetrating and interference" and must change the environment. The training camp was quite effective. Marseille first defeated the Champions League team Brest 4-1, and then drew 1-1 with Lille away, which was the side that performed significantly stronger in the game. This away game was a bit overly nervous, and the game was interrupted for more than half an hour due to riots on the stands. At the 85th point of the game, the score was still 1-1. Greenwood scored a goal at a critical moment to help Marseille lead 2-1. Then, Le Havre, who fought to the death for relegation, made a crazy counterattack. The atmosphere on the scene was like hell.

In the 8-minute super-long stoppage time, both sides were completely like they were entering a life-and-death bet. Le Havre almost equalized the score twice, while Le Havre captain Aruna Sangante made consecutive mistakes after the line was extended. Marseille forward Guilli made a counterattack in the 9th minute of stoppage time, locking the score at 3-1.

Dezelby also explained why he proposed a closed training camp after the game. "We overcame so many difficulties in the mosaic... We did a very great thing. At the beginning of the season, the players were walking on thin ice when playing at Verodrom at home. We discussed this issue, and if we want to be united, the point is that football must be put first. (In Rome) We have dinner together and have a lot of good times together. The training is reduced, but we pay great attention to team cohesion."

Dezelby also said: "( The former media reported that the player objected to me was untrue, which hurt me very much. Never had a rebellion, never had a problem... Marseille has advanced to the Champions League only three times in the past 10 years, this is the fourth time. Last year we ranked only 8th, cut our salary budget, and we don't invest much in the transfer market compared to our direct competitors. Therefore, I think the outside world sometimes fails to fully see or appreciate the full efforts of the club and coaching staff. "

With such results, Dezelby has become an idol in the minds of Marseille fans, but will he stay in Ligue 1 next season?
