After a series of five victories in a row, Olympique de Marseille is experiencing a downturn. In his last two matches, the vice-champion of France lost with a score of 1-2. First against Sporting CP in the Champions League on Wednesday, then against RC Lens in Ligue 1 this Saturday.
This double setback allows Paris Saint-Germain to regain the lead in the championship, and could prove detrimental for OM when it comes time to review the end of the season. Despite everything, the last performance of the Phocaeans does not seem to have damaged their confidence.
OM does not waver
At the end of the match, OM goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli gave his analysis of the match: “ We had a very good first half. Lens was lucky against us. We must continue to work. »
“If we look at the result, it’s negative, but if we look at everything we do well, it’s positive. Against Sporting, it was the same. (…) We must do better in the offensive phases and in ball control, we must improve on certain points, but we are calm. I'm not worried. We did some good things too”added the South American goalkeeper. For his part,
the Marseille football director, Medhi Benatia, had made similar comments, which also earned him strong criticism.
