Can OM really ignite after their Sunday victory against AS Monaco?

Sunday,
Olympique de Marseille struck a big blow by winning at the end of the match at the Orange Vélodrome, against AS Monaco, in the closing match of the thirteenth day of Ligue 1. A result which allows the Marseille club to overtake their Sunday opponent in the standings.

But is this one really deserved? Nabil Djellit responds in the negative. “For OM, the most important thing, it’s the result, not the content. The match was intense and open, but the Marseillais could have been punished several times. On ball exits there were an innumerable number of lost balls,” analyzed the sports journalist on The L’Equipe channel.

Was Monaco better than OM?

Nabil Djellit even believes that the OM coach would have preferred to coach the Principality club. “If I am De Zerbi, I tell myself that it is rather the squad opposite which would have suited me better to implement my style of play, he judges. Monaco had the clearest opportunities. If I am Monaco, I am disgusted this evening. The best team on the pitch for me was Monaco, not OM. »

Thanks to this success, OM find themselves in the position of runner-up to Paris Saint-Germain, even if they are seven points behind the capital club in the standings. Sunday, Adrien Rabiot and his teammates will travel to Saint-Etienne to face the Greens in the closing match of the fourteenth day of Ligue 1.
