OM at its lowest

Samuel Gigot did not hide his disappointment after Marseille’s new poor performance on Sunday.

Olympique de Marseille definitely does not succeed as soon as it moves away from the Vélodrome. Still looking for their first away victory in Ligue 1, OM lost 1-0 at Lens, crucified by a goal from Jonathan Gradit from a corner in the final moments of the match.

The scenario was obviously difficult for the Marseillais to cope with. “It’s very annoying to concede a goal like that. At this level, we have to be tougher, have the courage not to concede a goal. These are small details, but we can’t afford to concede a goal like that, thus confided Samuel Gigot at the end of the meeting to the microphone of Prime Video. We should have believed more in the last 30 meters – not just the three or four in front, the whole team -, and been more killer in both areas. »

And while OM is now at 10e place in Ligue 1 and has only won one match since August 26, the central defender suffered the blow in the mixed zone. “ It’s difficult to accept being so low in the rankings when you represent Olympique de Marseille “, he blurted.
