Discomfort at OM, the public's fault?

According to a former Ligue 1 coach, the OM public has a responsibility for the mediocre results recorded at the Stade Vélodrome.

Does the Vélodrome stadium have a bad influence on OM players? The question may arise as the team coached by Roberto de Zerbi has only won one match this season on home soil, against OGC Nice on September 14 (2-0 – 4th day of Ligue 1). On the contrary, the Italian technician and his Olympians shine outside with six Championship successes out of seven trips.

Pascal Dupraz, former coach of Evian-Thonon-Gaillard, Toulouse and Saint-Etienne, responded to a Marseille supporter about the context of the Provençal enclosure. “ As soon as things go wrong, you whistle, it has nothing to do with youth », argues Dupraz, Sunday morning on RMC. His interlocutor highlighted the young age of the OM squad to explain the excitement observed at the Vélodrome stadium.

OM-Monaco, the opportunity to free minds

“ I respect the Marseille public, but I also understand the players, the fear they have about the event », continues Pascal Dupraz. May this OM-Monaco on Sunday evening (13th day) be able to finally free them. This is all the Olympian community wants.
