Olympique de Marseille challenges Ajax Amsterdam for their entry into the Europa League, this Thursday (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this shock.
It is in an explosive context that Olympique de Marseille will immerse themselves in their Europa League campaign this Thursday. The Marseille club is going through a deep and sudden crisis, after the departure of its coach Marcelino and the withdrawal of its emblematic president Pablo Longoria. The Spanish leader, the target of death threats, has been the head of the club for several years.
OM therefore prepared for their match against Ajax Amsterdam with a temporary worker thrust to the forefront, Jacques Abardonado. A former defender who passed through the club during his playing career, the latter is aware of the task that awaits him. “ At the club I knew everything, the U15s, the U17s, the U19s and the reserves. All I was missing was this post (from coach of team one). It arrives earlier than expected. As for the duration of the interim, I don’t know. I will take it game by game. This is Ajax…“.
A very big piece for a team set to challenge an overloaded schedule in the coming weeks. After Ajax, OM will face PSG in a highly anticipated Classic, then challenge Monaco and Brighton.
