OM is struggling for the moment to close files, while the recovery is coming to an end. Something to worry some observers on the Canebière.
Pablo Longoria recently found Igor Tudor’s replacement in Marcelino. The Spanish coach will have the heavy task of starting the season strong, with in particular the Champions League play-offs to be played. For the moment, only Geoffrey Kondogbia has landed at OM. Too little to hope to launch the season on a new era and with full confidence. For some fans and observers, the strategy employed by Pablo Longoria is surprising and does not meet the expectations placed. It is not Karim Bennani who will say the opposite.
Longoria less inspired?
OM in time before the C1?

On the set of The Channel The Team, the journalist has indeed given a clear opinion on the subject. And he is surprised by Longoria. “Longoria… He has gotten us used to something else over the past few years. He has always been in anticipation, whether on the transfer window or the coaches. There, one has the impression that he groped a little, that he suffered refusals. He finally took Marcelino. He then took Kondogbia but if there is a year where OM must be ahead, it’s this year. The first match of the season will perhaps be one of the most important of OM’s season, already! We know that some teams take time to get going, that some teams have big preparations for the Champions League to be ready in September or October. What will be the preparation of OM knowing that we do not know who will join OM? Time does not play for Marseille before an already crucial match ”, said Karim Bennani, who hopes to see a much more active Marseille in the coming days in order to reassure his fans. Among the hottest tracks of the moment, it is said that the profiles of Anthony Rouault (Toulouse) and Thierry Correia (Valence) are very popular with the Marseille management.
