A defeat for Olympique de Marseille against Lyon this Sunday would be very bad for Eric Di Méco.
Usually, there is reason to be rather confident when you are an ambitious club like Olympique de Marseille, and when you are about to receive the red lantern in Ligue 1. But when the opponent in question happens to be the Olympique Lyonnais, the rival of the Phocaeans in recent seasons, there is reason to fear that the public will experience a possible misstep very badly.
“OM welcomes Lyon which is in great difficulty, thus analyzes Eric Di Méco, on the set of Virage Marseille, the BFM and Phocéen show. These last two seasons, we have lost a lot of points at home and the public has remained very lenient. I’m afraid it’s starting to rumble against Lyon. This is the real big match of recent years, if we ever restart them, it risks annoying the supporters because there is a dimension other than sporting. »
OM remain with a defeat in Nice (1-0), after a performance that was far from completely bad. To better prepare for this Olympico on Sunday, the best way would be to gain confidence by beating AEK Athens on Thursday in the Europa League. “ If you win on Thursday evening and win on Sunday, you will forget this defeat in Nice, believes Di Méco. That’s why you shouldn’t give up on Thursday’s match because it’s a victory that puts you in good shape for Sunday. »
