Saturday evening, Olympique de Marseille achieved
a poor performance by bowing in the stoppages of the game At the Orange Vélodrome (0-1), opposite the Racing Club of Lens, on the occasion of the 25th day of Ligue 1. A defeat which can, in part, be attributed to certain choices of Roberto de Zerbi.

Indeed, to compose his starting eleven, the Italian technician had chosen to do without players such as Luis Henrique and
Mason Greenwood. “They were not 100 % of their physical condition. I saw it this week, that's also why they did not play at the start of the match ”,
He justified himself at the post-match press conference.

OM, a perilous trip to the park arrives

Next Sunday, OM will have a complicated trip to the Parc des Princes, to face Paris Saint-Germain in the closing match of the 26th day. “I told the players to stay grouped. We have to stay outside the idea of ​​defeat. This defeat is difficult, we did not deserve to lose. An important match in Paris awaits us, recalled the former coach of Brighton. The season is not over, there are nine games left. It is still possible to achieve the objectives. »»

Pending this trip to the capital, the Marseille club is directly under the threat of the OGC Nice in the ranking. If the Aiglons beat Olympique Lyonnais this Sunday evening, with at least two goals apart, they will take second place.
