The contrasting results of Olympique de Marseille worry club observers for the rest of this 2023-24 campaign.
With another goalless draw against Lille last Saturday (0-0), Olympique de Marseille once again disappointed its supporters. Overall, the Marseille club presents an insufficient record this season, given its podium ambitions. For Pascal Dupraz, OM will have to quickly get their act together, otherwise they will have to lower their objectives.
“Four points in four games for Gattuso, only one victory in four league games, this is not what we hope for for Olympique de Marseille » , thundered the former Saint-Etienne coach in comments made on RMC, where he serves as a consultant.
“They need to lower their ambition. After 10 matches, they only have 13 points and yesterday (against Lille) the copy was too dull. This makes me think that Marseille is intrinsically or collectively less strong than many teams, Nice, Monaco, Lille, PSG or Lens. On the technical aspect, I understand the whistles of the Vélodrome. »
As a reminder, Olympique de Marseille are in 9th place in Ligue 1 with 13 points on the clock. Gennaro Gattuso’s team is already 6 points behind fifth place in the standings, occupied by Lille.
There is still a lot of work” declared the former Toulouse coach during the show Les Grandes Gueules du Sport on RMC. For Pascal Dupraz, there are at least 5 teams that are superior to OM this season. A qualification for a European place is still possible, but according to the former coach of Toulouse or Caen, the Marseillais are quite far from the first places, and will have to come to terms with the idea that a Top6 is more in line with their level.
