OM, the terrible confession

The promises of the Marseille transfer window were quickly overtaken by the reality on the ground. OM players admit, there are serious deficits in this squad.

Dating is sometimes, it is said, about the little things. OM seemed to suffer from this problem on Saturday evening in Nice where Gennaro Gattuso’s players lost 1-0 in this match on the 9th day of Ligue 1.

IsmaĂŻla Sarr’s goal was logically refused for being offside by a few dozen centimeters (25th) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang saw his dive over the Nice goalkeeper fail at the base of the right post (73rd).

“I feel like I’m repeating myself every week”

We could also take the example of situations where Iliman Ndiaye lacked precision or inspiration. In short, OM’s offensive sector has often failed due to technical waste.

The promises of the summer transfer window when Olympian supporters saw all these attackers arrive, smoke bombs in support for some in Marignane, are a long way away.

At the Allianz Riviera, this offensive deficit was again regrettable. “In these kinds of matches, it’s the details that make the difference. We need to be more vigilant,” had reacted hotly Valentin Rongier, in front of the cameras of Canal +. I feel like I’m repeating myself every week but hey, there are positive things but we have to take a step forward. There are still many errors. »
