At the end of the 17e day of Ligue 1, concluded Sunday evening with PSG’s victory against Saint-Etienne (2-1), seven lengths still separate the Parisian leader from his Marseille runner-up. An OM who, the day before, won by the same score on the pitch at Stade Rennais, thanks to goals from Mason Greenwood (45e) and Adrien Rabiot (49e).
If the pressure exerted by the Ciel et Blanc for the moment does not seem to shake Luis Enrique’s players, firmly clinging to the head of the ranking, the race for the title is not over according to Rod Fanni. Interviewed this weekend on RMC, the former Olympian defender believes that OM can achieve the same feat as Montpellier in 2012.
“I am one of those who believe in the titlehe said. For some time now, we have seen a team that keeps the ball. I believe they are the second best team in the championship. Whether they concede a goal or score one, the serenity is always there. Even average players like Luis Henrique or others have taken two notches higher. »
OM like Montpellier in 2012?
The former French international (5 caps) finds that Roberto De Zerbi’s troops have gained in maturity in recent weeks. “They don’t panic anymore. They are not afraid of losing the ball. It produces play. Everyone can scorehe observes enthusiastically. It’s becoming more than a team, it’s becoming a family. »
“When you have these ingredients, a team of friends like in Montpellier (during the title in 2012), it can surprise everyone. I think they have the means to tickle PSG, who are not as serene as that”he concludes. Everything will perhaps depend on Paris Saint-Germain’s progress in the Champions League. If he is eliminated at the end of January, he will bet everything on Ligue 1.
