OM have recently returned to training. The Marseille club will have to be very diligent at the dawn of a new season of all dangers.
OM supporters hope to see their very ambitious club next season. For the moment, the Marseille club is not yet guaranteed to play in the Champions League. For this, the Olympians will have to go through the play-off box. And the latter will take place in August, when OM will also resume Ligue 1. The preparation that is being done now will be essential, as will future recruitment. The pressure is maximum on the shoulders of Pablo Longoria but also of Marcelino. The Spanish coach will quickly have to take the pulse of his new formation. Before resuming the season, the former Bilbao or Valencia player will be able to gauge himself against four teams: July 15 at 6 p.m. against Nîmes (National), July 22 (11 a.m.) against KAS Eupen (Belgian D1), July 27 July (1 p.m.) against RKC Waalwijk (Dutch D1) and August 2 against Bayer Leverkusen (8:45 p.m.). For Elie Baup, this preparation will have to be done in a very serious way.
Marcelino is warned

In an interview given to Provencethe former coach of the Marseille club sent a very strong message to Marcelino: It’s all a matter of time… and in this type of period, you don’t have any. You have to create the best balance between tactical and physical work knowing that in these timings neither will be optimal. Exhibitions are good for giving everyone a rhythm, but having less is not a handicap (…). In the immediate future, he should focus on marking in the zone, pressing, the height of the defensive line, everything that makes recovery. These are benchmarks that are easily assimilated. Where it’s more difficult is when you have the ball, in the offensive transition », said Elie Baup, impatient to see how Marcelino will manage his first important meetings with OM. Like Igor Tudor, nothing will happen to him…
