The international break is often a favorable moment to take stock and prepare the last straight line of a season. But at OM, it is also the occasion for an internal cropping. According to information from Provence, Marseille leaders intend to take advantage of this break to remind some of the order players. Officially, no name has filtered, but the criticisms aim at elements deemed too individualistic or whose investment would not be up to expectations.
The objective? Remote a workforce that is going through a less splendor period, with only three points taken in the last four games. Marseille is still second in the championship, but sees competition getting closer dangerously.
Behaviors that annoy internally
If OM wants to secure its qualification in the Champions League, the group's mentality should be impeccable. However, according to several internal sources, some players recently adopted an attitude that goes wrong. Lack of defensive involvement, desire to shine individually rather than serving the collective … Behaviors that could cost dearly in this end of the season.
Moreover, Roberto de Zerbi himself sent a strong signal to a press conference by claiming more commitment from his group. “” Some must understand that it is not the individual who counts, but the team ”would have entrusted a source close to the locker room.
The alarm bell is taken for OM players.
What risks for the players concerned?
If no name has been publicly mentioned, certain elements of the workforce are in a delicate situation. Managers could take internal measures by sanctioning behavior deemed unsuitable. Less playing time, repositioning on the bench, even sidelining? Everything is possible if the dynamics are not reversed quickly.
The end of the season will be decisive for OM, which must at all costs remain solid in the race for the Champions League. But to achieve this, it is still necessary that all players shoot in the same direction …
OM wants to start from the front
The tension therefore rises internally, and the international break could well be a decisive turning point. With opponents like Monaco or Nice who watch for the slightest misstep, OM no longer has the right to make mistakes. The management's message is clear: the collective comes before individual interests.
It remains to be seen how the players will react to this warning. Will some question themselves? Will others go to the clash? One thing is certain: the end of the Olympian season promises to be hectic.
