Adil Rami, the former OM defender, expressed his concerns for Thursday’s Europa League match.
Thursday evening, OM has a date with history. The Marseille team will challenge Atalanta Bergamo for a place in the Europa League final. The confrontation promises to be complicated against the recent winner of Liverpool.
The Olympians can expect a perilous trip to Lombardy. And that’s exactly what their former player Adil Rami predicts for them. Sunday evening, at the microphone of Amazon Prime, he warned: “We tend to say that they are an easy team to play. I know them, I’ve played there before and I can tell you that it won’t be fun. It’s rough, it’s hard, it’s hostile.”

The 2018 world champion also judges that the disadvantage that OM will have is not knowing their opponent very well: “When you leave your championship, these are teams and players that you don’t know. It will be very important to be in video mode, to visualize their game. It will take courage and strength.”
Rami still concluded with a positive statement by highlighting the encouraging victory against Lens. “They held on and scored quickly. And for once, they were able to keep the score. They were able to make it happen, with this magnificent goal from Pape Gueye. They are preparing well for their Europa League half. The hardest part is staying the course in all areas. You have to keep a cool head and a warm heart.”
