A few weeks ago, Olympique de Marseille was comfortably installed in place of Dauphin du Paris Saint-Germain. Then, at the end of February, the Marseille club started a series of five defeats in its last seven Ligue 1 matches.
Result of the races: the men of Roberto de Zerbi slipped in third place in the classification. While there are only five championship days left to compete, it is even in danger. Indeed, Olympique Lyonnais returned to only one point from the club in the south of France. As for the Racing Club of Strasbourg and Lille, they only have two lengths behind it.
Despite this very bad dynamic, Albert Emon remains optimistic.
“I think they will end in the first three, their season is quality. There are two matches that arrive within the reach of OM with Montpellier and Brest ”explained this former Marseille player and coach, quoted by Provence.
From Zerbi to OM, stop or even?
The 71 -year -old technician also praises the work of Roberto de Zerbi, currently very criticized.
“Ah yes, I find that the job is well done, it's serious. Tolerance and indulgence, in football, there are not many ”regrets the man who had taken OM to the final of the French Cup in 2007 (lost to penalties against FC Sochaux, editor's note).
Roberto de Zerbi, who arrived in the Marseille city during last summer, is under contract until 2027 with OM. Supposed to be part of a long-term project, will he continue this adventure if his team does not qualify for the next Champions League?
