The defeat suffered by OM against Lens (0-1) Saturday evening in Ligue 1, the second in three matches after that conceded in Auxerre (0-3) two weeks earlier, challenges. While many observers agreed that Marseille had succeeded in his winter transfer window by recruiting Luiz Felipe, Amar dedic, Amine Gouiri and Ismaël Bennacer, the observation is a little more mixed in the eyes of some, including Daniel Riolo.
For the RMC editorialist, the sky and white did not necessarily need all these players, especially the two Algerian internationals: “Roberto de Zerbi, we gave him players in the transfer window and he must make them play … But these players, it feels that there were the fanfare around them to say that they were interplanetary megastars. That, at the limit, is always the exaggeration found in Marseille, but let's take a closer look. »»
Bennacer and Gouiri responsible for the bad results of OM?
“Since the end of the transfer window, is there not OM, which was in a very good progression at the level of the game, a real fall since Bennacer has played in the middle and that we are told that it is an international star?he wonders. And Gouiri, who was good, he always put goals from time to time … We took Maupay and Rongier, and when these two arrived, we told them to go to the cellar to see if there was no cleaning to do. »»
And the journalist adds, in the program After Foot:: “I found this sequence very curious. We took two guys, saying it was atomic bombs when the others had not deserved! I'm not saying that Maupay is untouchable, that he is an outstanding scorer, but we had a team that was running, we took two elements … I don't know. The series is not good. »» Is this because of Olympian recruits?
