The draw won by Stade de Reims at the Vélodrome (2-2) last Sunday has certainly given ideas to Olympique de Marseille’s next opponents, starting with Toulousewho face the Marseille club this Saturday evening for the 3rd day of Ligue 1 (9 p.m.).
Téfécé intends to make a move in this encounter. Carles Martinez Novell noted the change in context compared to the last confrontation between the two clubs, which ended in a draw (2-2), last April. “The coach changed and both clubs were playing in Europe, so there was a lot of rotation within the teams.” explained the Catalan technician.
Toulouse approaches its clash against OM “like a final”
“Marseille remains a very big club, with a lot of good players, some of whom have stayed despite many changes. We played very well in the two games against them last year, so I hope we will be as good or better.“Continued Martinez Novell.
“We don’t want to think about the rather negative run we have against OM. Against a club of this calibre, and a team coached by De Zerbi, who is great news for Ligue 1, we will have to be clinical, very vigilant and capable of suffering. We will have to present the best version of ourselves to hope to win. I am sure that we will approach this match like a final, with our fans behind us to support us, even a little more than usual.”concluded the Toulouse coach. The tone is set.
