Olympique de Marseille spent the night from Friday to Saturday in the leader of Ligue 1 leader, and that's it already. Ninths Monday morning, seventh after their victory against PSG (0-1) at the end of the 5th day, the Phocaeans climbed at the top by winning in Strasbourg (1-2) at the opening of the 6th day.
OM is well helped by the programming of the meeting, which allows it to play before all its competitors from the top of the table. It also owes its ascent to its results, of course, and to the positive face shown on the whole month of September. Even if Roberto de Zerbi still wants to be careful before boasting.
“August Marseille is not yet far away. You can never relax, you always have to be humble. We must never forget the match against Rennes and that against Lyon, warned the Marseille coach, Satisfied with the content offered by his players at La Meinau. It is not the result that changes things. If we hadn't won tonight, I would have been happy anyway. It was not a tap match tonight. »»
OM will no longer be the leader on Sunday at 7 p.m.
So here is OM, in crisis at the end of August, leader this morning of September 27. For how long? Not long, that's for sure. It would already be a miracle that this first place takes until Saturday evening. Monaco would have to lose in Lorient and that Paris Saint-Germain is also surprised by AJ Auxerre, which would not look too much like men of Luis Enrique.
But whatever happens on Saturday, OM will be overwhelmed by another team on Sunday. It is inevitable, because of the poster of 5:15 pm between Lille (6th, 10 points) and Lyon (4th, 12 points). Whatever the result, there will be a team at least 13 points. But for OM, it's anecdotal. What is less so is the recovery to be confirmed Tuesday evening in the Champions League against Ajax.
